Document failed to print - change timeout or message?
Hi all,
When using TCP/IP ports to print to a common printer, a user will get the message "Document failed to print" if the printer is busy. The document does print within a few minutes, when the current job finishes. I would like to change the wording of this message and/or increase the timeout that makes this bubble appear. I would even use a solution that makes the message not appear in the first place. Any suggestions? Thanks, T. |

You can only configure for informational notifications, this is an error
notification so the user will always get notified when the write fails to the device since someone else is actively printing. It's one of the reasons some people go with a print server. If the device supports SNMP, is the port configured for SNMP? I don't think this will matter but it might make some difference. The write file will hit the error in about 90 seconds when the device fails to acknowledge the tcp/ip connection. Is the port configure in RAW or LPR mode? Read the printer nic interface information and determine if the host service can park inbound data and inform the port monitor to wait but typically the doc failed to print is the error generated when writeport fails which is 90 seconds. I don't think this is any timeout stuff for any balloon notifications it's nothing in printing. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Thanks again, Alan.
You've been a wealth of information as I toy with all the different ways to host printers, and of course all the issues I run into as I do so. I'm learning a lot, and appreciate your time. T. |
