Can't print toNetworked HP2600n

Hello,

Looking for some help here. I have two users who can not print to a
networked HP2600n. I have configured the printer three different ways.
None work. As configured on a 2003 Server, print jobs sit in queue. They
don't print until the spooler on the server is stopped and started. I tried
to set up the printer up as local printer using IP port. Print jobs hit
queue and appear to print. Nothing actually prints. Set up as a local,
shared printer on one pc connected with a USB cable. Print jobs hit queues
but don't print until Spooler on the PC is stopped and started.

Any thoughts on what might be going on with this printer??

Thanks much.

Hi Dave

Since you set the printer in 3 different way and its not working it
means that something is wrong with workstation setup, I assuming that
other users can print. What OS are you using on workstation?

It could be problem with some additional software that the PCs are
using. Fax software, etc.

1.
Open queue -> Printer -> Pause Printing - if checked uncheck (sounds
silly but I had this problem couple of times)

2.
update drivers

3.
Remove any unused ports
Control Panel - Remove printer
cmd
net stop spooler
C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\PRINTERS - remove any files in this directory
net start spooler
get the latest drivers
add printer and print test page
