Print jobs stay in queue

Z

Zach Dickinson

I have a workstation running XP SP2. There are three
printers installed. 1 local HP 1220 using USB, 1 network
HP 9500, and 1 network HP 3700. Both network printers are
using TCP/IP.

If I print to the local printer, the job is sent to the
queue, then to the printer, it prints, and then the job is
deleted out of the queue. Everything is fine.

If I print to the network printers, the job is sent to the
queue, then to the printer, it prints, but the job is not
deleted from the queue.

At the end of the day I will have 30+ jobs in each of the
network printer queues. If I forget to delete the jobs
out of the queue, they will start printing as soon as I
turn the PC on and will continue to do so until I delete
them from the queue.

Any help is much appreciated.

I have the most up to date drivers. I've even tried their
beta drivers. I will try taking off bi-directional
support in the mean time. Thanks!

See if HP.com has an updated driver for this. In the mean time just uncheck
Bidirectional on the Ports tab of printer properties.

I am not sure what drivers got the fix for this. The only ones HP gave me
were for the Color LaserJet 4500 PCL 6 but there are a bunch that have this
issue.
