Printing Error

Hi,

I am having trouble printing large documents using Windows 2003 Server has
my print servers.

I have multiple HP Printers that I am having trouble with printing. They are
any model really, 4200s and 4350s. The problem is that after awhile I get
this error stating:

PCL XL Error
Subsystem: USERSTREAM
Error: MissingData
Operator: 0xc9
Position: 91851

So I was on the impression it was printer drivers I tried every single one.
So then I said to myself must be that the OS is Windows 2003 x64 and it
doesnt like the 64bit OS. So I switched it to Windows 2003 32bit same
problem occured. Then I decided let me bring back up a old trusty Windows
2000 server. With the windows 2000 server I had no trouble.

By the looks of the error and what I read from HP it seems like the server
is not sending the data fast enough. This is just a guess.

I am wondering if anyone could tell me why it works on Windows 2000 and not
Windows 2003.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am so fed up of trying to troubleshoot this.

G.

Are the same versions of PCLXL installed on both machines?

\windows\system32\spool\drivers\platform\3\pclxl.d ll
