Server 2003 Domain Controller Printing

Hi all,

I have 2 Server 2003 DC's and 3 2003 member servers.
I started to set up one of the Domain controllers as a print server and
could print a test page but client printing is intermitent. Sometimes a log
saying the name can not be found and

"Error Id 6161" also "Win32 error code returned by the print processor:67"

but usually nothing appears in event logs to say the job did not print. I
have set up one of the
member servers successfully as the print server, but will hope to move
printing back to the DC. It appears to be a DNS issue but DNS seems fine and
dcdiag gives all pass results.

Any suggestions

We have seen many cases like this It happens after installing the SP1 on windows 2003. Try this: delete the printer and re-add it with the new driver. please post back with the result.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your reply
The Printers al all older HP and I have tried deleting and installing them
again with the new drivers.
Since my post I set up a 2003 Member server as the print server and it
worked fine until today. All my 2003 servers are SP1 this is so frustrating,
there is no help from MS at all.
