Hp Deskjet 2633 Drivers

[Gabelo Camphire]

Myquestion is, do you Spiceheads get these errors? Where the printer will go online and offline and a restart of the spooler will temp fix the issue. What kind of printer does it happen to, and have you found a permanent fix? Also, what seemed to have caused the issue? What kind of operating system do you have? How is the printer configured ( Does any of this matter in searching for this answer?

We fought this issue a few years ago with bad deskjet drivers. Their port monitors would crash and the only way to recover was to reboot. Sometimes we could just restart the spooler but most of the time a reboot was required. We typically had to manually flush the spool directory to clear the job that crashed the spooler. This is when we pulled the printing from the file server and put it on a dedicated server. It was a PITA to perform an emergency reboot during operation hours for the the drive shares. It was easier to reboot the dedicated print server.

But in your case it is probably a bad printer driver for a printer that is used infrequently. You might be able to look in the spooler folder for the job it was working on when the spooler crashed. There should be a control file and then the print job file. The control file should contain useful information for debugging.

Most of the time it is as mentioned above, a bad driver issue. Whatever you are doing make sure that you are not taking drivers updates from Microsoft, whether using WSUS or another method. It seemed that I was chasing a print driver problem for a long time until I realized it was a bad driver from from who else, Microsoft. Their driver had taken over my HP driver that had not yet fallen under the HP Universal Driver umbrella.

Print server is excellent I must say. We have a windows server 2008 print server sharing over 100 printers and though we have occasional problems it is much, much easier than managing individual tcp-ip printers per-workstation. For example to rename a printer you do it one place, to add a new printer, you do it in one place, to update a driver you do it in one place, You can deploy the shared printers to hundreds of workstations in bulk using a GPO or other methods.
