Application Locks Up When Printing Over The Network Via Print Server?
Jul 13, 2011
I'm having sporadic issues with many users connected over the network to a print server. If the printer is their default printer the application used to print will freeze/lockup until they log out / restart their machine. The only way to fix this (from my experience) is to set their default printer to something else (like Adobe PDF) or bypass the print server completely and do it by direct TCP/IP.
I have a 64 bits Windows 7 notebook installed with Samsung SCX-4725 series PCL printer. For network printing requirements, I tried to install (I am not sure) a 32 bits ZOT Network Print Server which is being used other folks in the office. When I installed the print server, a error message prompted "Failed to add network Monitor". With this message, I still could install the print driver. But upon completion, couldn't print anything with a message "Error Print". Such error message did not appeared when I installed the system under a XP or Vista 32 bits enviornment.
I wish to know what is the problem(s) here? Is it ture that I need to install a 64 bits network print driver.
I bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit a couple of months ago and havent been able to print anything at all. The printers that i have are HP Officejet K7100, HP Deskjet 960c. Both printers are recognized and the status on the control panel is all good, until i actually print something, thats when the spooler seems to begin the print job but it just ends up saying theres an error and no page is actually printed.
I have a MacBookPro with OSX 10.6.8 and a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 to which is connected by USB a Canon MP250 printer. I have been able to network the two computers, meaning I am able to create a file on the Mac and save it on the Toshiba and vice-versa. But I am unable to print a document from the Mac on the Canon printer which is connected to the Windows laptop. I think I correctly followed instructions here.
Quicken 2000 won't print even though printer says it's printing; No job in the printer que either. Downloaded another printer driver but that did not do the trick. it shows there's a printer in that que but nothing printed.
I have recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit and when I print anything on my Lexmark E120 laser printer and select Two-Sided printing, it prints out instructions for doing this. As I already know how to use my printer, I would like to stop it printing out instructions and wasting paper.
I have my printer installed in my work domain PC. I try to print one page, and then after this my print spooler stops working. I have to start it manually, and after another page printed, it stops again. It's so annoying to start it after each print.
My Windows 7 pro x64 system will not play the "Print Complete" sound after printing a document.I get the pop-up saying that the print job has completed, just like it did with Win XP. However, the sound is not played.The sounds applet in control panel has the "Print Complete" sound defined correctly and the Test button plays the sound. So I do not have an audio problem, and the .wav file is not blocked.I have looked for any options that could control the sound, but have not found any.
I have and older application that I am trying to run in Windows 7 -32 bit. It has run successfully in all versions of windows from 3.1 Vista 32 bit. The program installs and launches without issue, but when I click ile-save as the program locks up once thefile window opens. I cannot type a file name or select a location. Once I close the program using task manager I get an error about ale2disp.dll(Any option in the tab that causes theile windowto open has the same result.) The program runs if I create a virtual XP machine, so I dont think the problem is with le2disp.dlltself, but more one of Windows 7 permissionsI have tried various mpatibility modes and taking ownership and giving full control to everything I can, but still no success. (another clue n closed through task manager it prompts me to save my work, allows me to type a file name into a slightly different looking file window
The copy/paste process between a local drive and a network share routinely locks up at partial completion. The completion percentage varies but is typically more than 10%. Usually the copied folders or files are relatively large (more than 1G, sometimes more than 20G).
I have been struggling for days to find a solution with an annoying printing problem on my new Windows 7 (64bit) HP Laptop. I can not print from my HP Laptop to any printers on my older XP Desktop wirelessly over my home network. I can open files from my shared folders on my XP desktop from my Windows 7 Laptop, etc. I can see all of the printers when I "Add a Printer" - but it tells me that:
"Windows can't find a driver for Canon iP4300 on the network."
I cannot find a driver manually and have installed a Windows 7 compatible driver for the iP4300 on my Laptop, etc. - no luck.
When I connect the same XP Printer directly to my Laptop by USB cable - it prints find. But, I can't seem to find a solution to my wireless problem.
I using windows 7 pro 32bit, I install printer HpLaser 1020 on Usb and Tosiba Estudio 255 on Network. I using both Printer on Earliest, but this 3 day not printering on both Printer. I check the Printer driver in Printer setting it ok. And also check Printer spooler on services, he is not start so i can restart on the printer spooler, after 2 min i check it the spooler automatically going stop. I restall the Driver also can't install the Printer driver.
Okay, so the included Windows 7 driver works but it doesn't have the scan drivers included. I have downloaded the Vista x64 driver (which does work in Vista 64 FWIW) but I can't get it to install properly. It gets to the screen where it asks how I'm connecting, I say "Network" and it just gets hung there in an endless cycle.
If I can't get this to work, I'm gonna have to down-grade back to Vista - and I don't want to!
I have a build 7000/x64 installation that is part of a W2K3R2 domain. The domain has 2 networked printers available on the W2K3 server. When I attempt to install one of them (HP970C and a HP5MP) the wizards see the printers and guide me to the install, but when I select the desired printer, I just get a "connecting to printer" dialog, and nothing ever happens. I've tried this with two different Windows 7 systems with identical results. The printers work fine with the other Vista and XP systems. I think it worked OK on a W7x86 install I tried previously (not 100% positive, though).
The net is that I cannot connect to networked printers. Any ideas out there?
Our group has a wireless network. We can print to the laser printer with no difficulty if we are printing from word or email. If we are printing from IE, you can see the job go through the spooler queue and printer makes a 'startup' noise - then nothing. No print. No error.
Makes it difficult since we are a real estate company and our MLS listings are on the internet.
Oh - and I'm told this doesn't happen if we use firefox or chrome!
My problem is windows 7 hangs and freeze when access 2003 server Enterprise edition. This is not a small network, one of the biggest network.i have doubt on individual users on domain. before 2 months we had department wise users mean, for example Accounts@domainname.local. But after we created the individual users like john@domainname.local to all users. this is i believe the cause of problem. When we acess the server via the software it freezed for 5 seconds and then repeat to normal state. And after some time it hangs for 2 minutes.
I am new to Windows 7, and am unable as yet to get my documents to print from any program. I have installed multiple printers (different manufacturers) in an attempt to find something compatible, but I believe my problem to be tied to the network. I am running Windows 7 64 bit, with Office 2007. I have installed a Xerox Phaser 6360 DN printer via the network at work. The printer is connected, as I can open the properties and see that the yellow toner is low. Newest/compatible driver from Xerox website is installed; yet whenever I send a document (or test page) to the printer, in the status window after a few minutes the status changes from "Printing" to "Error - Printing".
I have two computers on my home network, one running Windows 7 Pro (connected to an HP 1020 printer) and one running Windows 7 Home Premium.
I can print just fine from the Pro computer (directly connected to the printer) but when I try to print from the Home Premium one, it goes into the Print Queue but just sits there. I have to restart the Print Spooler service and then it prints right away.
The printer is installed as a network printer on the Home Premium computer and I tried re-installing the latest driver from HP (the same one I used to install the printer on the Pro computer). The problem must lie in the Pro computer because the job comes in and sits in the queue, but the print spooler service, for some reason, just won't respond.
I have a brand new Dell desktop that has Win 7 on it. I have an older laptop with Win 2000. I am able to get onto the Internet on my laptop but I can't figure out how to print to a printer attached to the Win 7 desktop.
I have Windows 7 to the point now where I can access computers on our network but they cannot access the Windows 7 computer. Our XP PC sporadically can see our Windows 7 computer but that's all, it doesn't see the network printer connected to it. I've named and renamed the printer, added XP drivers to Windows 7 and I'm completely baffled at this point. (I have the firewall off on the Windows 7 PC). So far I'm not thrilled with Windows 7 and hope they don't attempt to release it anytime in the near future, my computers and network has always setup easily and ran flawless with XP and Vista but with Windows 7 it's been a battle all the way.
Usually I disable Windows Firewall because it's annoying to hit "allow" every time i run each of my 30-40 games for the first time. I use avast! and nothing else, since I usually don't visit "adult" sites or anything out of the ordinary. I was thinking about getting zone alarm, though.
Well I need network printing to be enabled for the rest of my family to print without having to kick me off, but for network printing to be on windows firewall must be turned on. Is there a workaround, or do I just need ANY firewall turned on, not just Windows Firewall?
When I map LPT1: as follows:Net USE LPT1: \computernameprinetrsharename /PERSISTENT:YESit maps and works once or twice and then LPT1 is unavailabe if NET USE is typed in the promptr window.
I click on Devices and Printers. I right-click my Printer, then click Printing Preferences (it's a network printer). I change the Original Size to A4, then click apply. When I try to print, the Original Size is wrong! When I go back to my printer's preferences, my change is not there anymore.
