Default "Download Document" and others

I have one user, recently upgraded to XP, that has 50
print jobs sent out to all three networked printers that
state "Download Document..." and blocks up the print que.

Also, the same user gets a print job printed successfully
message for every print job in the building. I thought it
might be an adminitrative group thing, but he isn't in the
group. It gets pretty annoying clicking okay about a
hundred times a day. I turned off all the messages in the
Server Properties. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Sean

There is a virus out there that will copy infected exe files to network
shares. This includes network shared printers. Since the files are
transmitted using Server Message Blocks (SMB) rather than Remote Procedure
Calls (RPC) the files names are "remote download document" in the print
queue of the shared printers. Usually this results in many pages spewed
from the printer with one or two wacky characters on the top line of the
page since the printer itself does not understand C++ or the language of the
executable.

Disable the Messenger service on the client.
