I have swapped printers before and just tried to update the driver and ran into all sorts of issues. I had to delete the printer and then create a new one and just gave it the same share name.
Mark From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 September 2008 21:08 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: HP printer problem We just got a couple new HP 9040n printers to replace a couple 8150s. I gave the jet direct card on the new printers, the IPs of the old printers and without updating the driver software on the W2k3 server, most documents printed ok, except I think some problems with PDFs. Updated the server and then workstations with the 9040 pcl5e driver that came with the printer and started getting 2 copies of everything printed. Updated the drivers on the server with the most recent ones from HP's web site. Still getting 2 copies. Checked printer and it shows one copy on the settings, workstation and server are both set for one copy. Also updated the printer with the latest HP firmware. No change. Checked a held job in the queue and it showed one copy but printed 2. Any ideas appreciated. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
