Print Job Corruption Printing on Fast Hardware Across Slow Link (174510)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q174510 SYMPTOMS
When "Start printing immediately" is selected on the Scheduling tab of
Printer properties, print jobs may be corrupted if the client connection
speed is slower when compared to the printing hardware.
CAUSE
Print job data is sent to the print device faster than the client can queue
data to the print spooler.
MORE INFORMATION
When the .spl file is examined, the file size is the same as the source
file; however, a portion of the *.spl file is "padded" with 0x00 instead of
only data received from the client. This may be caused by a flow control
problem on the "slow link" from the client.
