Okay, I FINALLY found it. No amount of googling helped, except to confirm that there should be print events showing up as they are listed here<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773899(WS.10).aspx>.
So, in the PrintService Log, you right-click on the "Operational" log and choose "enable log". I'm absolutely amazed at how difficult that was to find and that it is not already enabled simply by adding the print server role. As for the cluster, it is logging information now on the node that owns the Print Server Resources. I'll test it with failover tomorrow, but that makes sense. I wonder how many other operational logs in WS08 R2 we have to go activate as needed? Time to go looking... -Bonnie From: Miller Bonnie L. [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2010 8:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Print events Building our first WS08 R2 print server, 2-node failover cluster. Things are going well so far and the cluster's all tested, but I'm having trouble with a driver and went looking to the event logs for help. What I'm looking for is an informational event that states what was printed. So, I'm obviously missing something here-Anyone know where the print events are? I've been digging around in logs trying to find them and not coming up with anything. It might be a cluster thing, but I'm not so sure... will load a driver on the actual server if I have to to check that part. And if it is a cluster issue, how do I get the Print Cluster Instance to log events and/or where do I look for them? This is a properties dialog from a different WS08 SP2 print server, which appears to log events: [cid:[email protected]] And this is the one from WS08 R2, after clicking on "change advanced settings" (UAC) button: [cid:[email protected]] I'll keep digging, but if anyone knows where to look this is much appreciated. I've looked in the registries and can't find anything different in the HKLM\System\Currentcontrolset\Services\Spooler key. I also AM seeing some things in the "PrintService" Admin log, but nothing in the Operational log.
