| 5965.16 | still happening NT 4.0 SP2 | NPSS::GLASER | Steve Glaser DTN 226-7212 LKG1-2/W6 (G17) | Thu Apr 17 1997 19:19 | 26 |
| as an update, we are STILL getting this problem on NT 4.0 SP2
I strongly disagree with the previous comment that "it's no big deal on
a workstation".
1. The message gives no indication about what's wrong or how to fix it.
2. There is no indication as to whether the job is OK or should be
killed.
3. If I try to kill the job it doesn't appear to go away
4. I get a dialog box possing to the top of my screen disrupting other
work, causing keystrokes to go to the wrong applications, etc.
A service SHOULD NEVER POP A DIALOG BOX. That's what the event log is
for. I recognize that it's not DEC's service that's doing this mess,
but something in our printer / network / software is aggravating a poor
design from Microsoft.

this morning asking whether I was still having this problem. That
triggered this tirade. Unfortunately he did't leave much of a contact
point on voice mail.)

I am the person who tried to contact you about this problem - have
to say that I've been called a lot of things in my time, but never
"McSomethingOrOther" ... :-)
Anyway, we've got an internal site in Holland who is seeing
this problem - they are running NT4 SP2.
Our intention is to install the latest version of the NT
PrintServer software ( V51-12I.EXE ) to see if that helps.

| 5965.18 | Still happens with V51-12I | RDVAX::LEVY | Run Like an Antelope | Fri Apr 18 1997 08:34 | 5 |
| From experience, I'll say that V51-12I does not cure the problem. We
see it mostly with DEClaser 5100s.

| 5965.19 | I see this 10 times a day | TAY2P1::HOWARD | Whoever it takes | Fri Apr 18 1997 19:11 | 18 |
| This problem is happening all over Digital sites in the Maynard area.
Someone mentioned TAY2 earlier, and the problem is definitely here. If
you leave notification turned on, the problem goes away, but then
people get notified that some other person with the same last name has
a job that completed.
This problem is a *major* pain. Why can't the symbiont just wait
forever the way VMS does? Or just log the event and start up later. A
printer runs out of paper, the message pops up, somebody adds paper,
but the queue stays stopped until the SPOOLER service is stopped and
restarted or the message is cleared. Users complain about this problem
daily. We switched all all LPS printers to TCPIP on the VMS side but
it didn't help. It happens with any printer connected to an NT server.
If somebody wants to know NT printing isn't more popular, this is the
reason.
