Does the problem present if you do not use a universal driver?  I've had
some issues with the Xerox universal driver.

Interesting—we’ve been seeing the same thing here since school started
in early September and I’ve found little online about the issue.  Our
print servers are currently WS08 R2 using the HP Universal drivers,
which could be the same driver on WS03 if you are using the universal
driver.  Clients are mostly XP with a smattering of W7 and WS08 R2
(RDS)—I’ve seen the problem from both.  Doesn’t seem to matter if we
use PCL5, 6, or PS for the driver.  Print servers are not DCs—we have a
2-node MS failover cluster.  We migrated to the WS08 R2 cluster and
Universal drivers late last spring, so I really don’t know if it
actually started at that time but wasn’t reported until school started.
 
The only workaround I’ve found so far is to tell people to click on the
advanced button and choose “print as image” when they print a pdf—always
comes out correct when doing that, but it can take much longer to print.
 We were running earlier HP Universal drivers in September when it was
first reported, but I have since updated to the August 31st (current)
release, with no difference seen.

Subject: Printing Issue

 

Hello - Having a strange printing issue that I was wondering if anyone
can shed some light on.

 

Windows 2003 servers.  Print server is also a DC.  All HP LJ printers
of varying models 42xx.  All with static ip and using ip ports on print
server.

 

Clients are xp and 2003/citrix.  All printers are installed from the
server so all using the same pcl 5 drivers.

 

Issue is random print jobs - usualy pdf files but can be word docs get
"lost".  Show up on print q but are never printed.

 

Event log shows event 6161 with source code 29.  When I google that it
points to permissions issues but I do not get the access denied event
and the problem happens when logged in as a domain admin.

 

Anyone got any other ideas?

 

TIA!
