Hi,
This one is driving me nuts!
I have 2 customers that use eTrust V7.1. One of them has a Win2K Server and the other a Win Server 2003.
Recently, both started to have network printing problems. In both cases, printers are shares in PCs. The next items are common to stations on both customers:
– eTrust V7.1
– Windows Update
– There is always a PC with Win98 involved in the problem
It’s always possible to navigate the network and connect to any printer but, randomly, when trying to print anything, the originating PC (always Win98) pops up a message saying that there was a problem connecting to the printer and it has been brought offline. I can see the job in the spooler. Insisting in the menu, switching off the “use printer offline” option, sometimes makes the job start.
I’ve tried many things like disabling AV, updating drivers, trying other printers in other PCs, installing MS DSClient9x. My next try will be removing the share and PC comments, as I read in a paper from MS, regarding the maximum browse list in Win 9x.
If anyone has another idea or already had this problem, please let me know
Thanks
