This story goes on......
We installed Q328020 on the Ctx Servers and are now able to print PDF files.
But still we have problems with some network attached printers. Outlook 2000
and also Excel 2000 as well as Acrobat Reader sometimes cannot see any
printers. The message "No default printer defined" pops up, but the printer
folder shows all available network printers. When changing some of the
properties of the printer and applying the changes, the printer can suddenly be
seen in the application. There are several printers concerned (HP LJ 5, 5si,
2100TN, HP DJ 895 cxi). We installed the drivers that were delivered with
windows 2000 on the printserver and then copied the drivers to the terminal
server (auto replication in CMC).
Does anybody have some more hints? Is it absolutely necessary to install
SP3/Q328020 on both the Terminal Servers and the dedicated Print server?
Your help is very much appreciated...
Regards
Peter

Hi,
Q238020 isn't just for client autocreated printing. SP3 can break all
network share-based printing.

Subject: [THIN] Strange printing behaviour after SP3 installation
Hi all
we recently installed SP3 and Q326935 onto our W2K/MFXPe/FR1-SP1 servers.
We strictly use network printers, queue defined on a separate printserver
that we imported into CMC and published the printers to users via group
membership. There is no auto creation of locally attached client printers.
After the SP3 installation we suddenly have problems to print PDF files
(Reader Version 5.0.1). After pushing the print button it looks like the
document is properly prepared for printing but nothing gets into the print
queue. Also from some other applications we can see a similar behaviour.
Office apps in general seem to work.
As we are only using networked printes I do not think the "SP3 printing
redirection fix Q328020" will solve our problem. Or maybe yes?
Has anyone come across this? Any suggestions?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Kind regards
Peter
