I am also receiving the same message box. at various times throughout the session it pops up without warning. I could be reading email (outlook) surfing (IE) or writing a document (Word)

I recently installed a new HP 6310 All-in-One device on my network, and installed the software.

After thinking about my "server Busy" problem, i remembered that it started after i installed a new printer on my pc,

I'm in the process of checking out this lead with the manufacturer.

Have you installed anything before you started to get this message?

I am experiencing the same problem with the popups. I recently installed the HP6310 all in one printer on my laptop. It was setup as a network printer. Any help would be appreciated.

To figure out which process is consuming the CPU cycles.

Much better than Task Manager, shows hidden processes and much more detailed.

Used to be made by Systernals and now by Microsoft...they acquired them recently.

I am experiencing the same problem following installation of a HP6300 printer. Did you find a solution to the problem? Any help would be most appreciated.

I originally installed the printer designated as a network printer. I removed the software and reinstalled the printer as a local printer and my problem went away. good luck.

Thank you for your advice. I did reinstall the printer and the problem seems to have gone away. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the next few days but thank you for puting me in the right direction.

got the same problem too for almost a year, until i read this forum...and i found a big help and solved my problem though its not on the printer ( i used canon) but on the scanner...thanks a lot....

The solution is simple:

1. Fully uninstall all HP software components and driver.

2. Reinstall only basic software (do not choose full). Do not install extended capabilities.

This will stop the server busy pop ups and reduce considerably CPU USAGE.

I'm pulling my hair out with my HP6310. It's a good quality printer/scanner when it works but the HP software is terrible.

I unloaded the CD bundle and installed just the drivers (available here http://tinyurl.com/2wxfh9)

That worked for a while and still does for printing but scanning now produces the SERVER BUSY error. I cannot get rid of the error box but it goes by itself after 5 or 10 minutes then I can scan. I cannot install the 'server busy' patch because the installation fails.

I've since gone USB and it's working OK now but it's the last time I get a HP printer. Go Invent! Bollocks!

I've solved this one - "XP, TCPIP, printing OK, scanning generates SERVER BUSY error"
I had the SSDP & Universal Plug & Play services disabled. I re-enabled them and reinstalled and it's working.

To get to this conclusion I downloaded and ran the scandiagnostic tool available here http://tinyurl.com/229ugg

I hope this helps anyone out there.
