Print problems on Win Server 2003
Drivers for Windows 2000 are typically "driver model 2" - NT4 and 2000
whereas the XP and 2003 drivers are typically "driver model 3 - XP and 2003. Unfortunately, when you have mixed 2000 and 2003 environment, sometimes there are significant compatibility issues with printer drivers. I tried to find information about your Canon C3200 on Canon's web site, but unfortunately could find nothing. Is this an "ImageRunner", "ImageClass", multi-function, inkjet or what? If you can, I suggest cleaning up the print environment on the print server - see for example http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm. If a complete cleanup is not practical, then at least ensure you have deleted the driver for the problematic printer Printers and Faxes click File, Server Properties select the Drivers tab select the driver for the Canon C3200 and click Remove In Windows 2003, that usually does a pretty good job of removing all parts of the printer driver. Make sure you have the printer driver specifically for Windows Server 2003 or XP and install it. Some manufacturer's package the driver only as an executable, while others package them for installation via the Add Printer Wizard. Check the documentation for the printer or driver. I suggest if at all possible, replace the Windows 2000 with Windows XP. You may also get better, more specific help from the printing newsgroups - I've taken the liberty to cross-post to them. -- Bruce Sanderson http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question. "Butch" wrote in message ... Hi all. OP here again. Another twist. I reinstalled the printer on the server as a local printer per the instructions in server 2003. I printed a test page and watched the activity monitor on the printer. It showed repeatedly trying to print the test page, yet it never printed. It also showed receiving all the test pages I did yesterday that didn't print. The only place in the printer menu that I found to set permissions is not enabled. Is this a defective printer? Thanks again, y'all! Butch |
