I have experienced this on a number of individual servers all versions from 4.12 to current. In each case the problem has been user error however as the windows clients pass the job to the server, unless the print job is quite large, it will pass the job before you can catch it. I have had mixed results with the contrib for managing the queue and have most often had to clear the queue from the command line. I have not however had this happen outside of user error, on each occasion it has been the same situation that would normally fail a windows print job, the difference being that a failed job is sent to the server and processed before it can be deleted from within windows. Not the fault of the server the way I see it, just annoying that the job is often processed before the issue is noticed.

Since you have experienced this (and we haven't), it would be really helpful if you could determine the complete status of the print queue before and after the failed job and log a bug with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Gordon -- Gordon Rowell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Director, Engineering Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
