the driver on the server is probably a different version than the driver you
have installed on the client


You can see if setting up the printer on the server as a local printer gets
this working.


Add Printer, Local, Create Local Port in the format \\server\printshare,
select the driver, Next, Next

Hi Alan,

This works without a problem however I can not use this resolution.

I work for a company where we charge people to print and if we do the
local printer option that allows them to print directly to the printer
without paying.

The print processor is HPCPP5r1 and the default data type is RAW. This
is the same on the working printer. Thank you for your help...
