Local Printer Causes 1st Network Print Job to Disappear (92996)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q92996 SYMPTOMS
On a Windows for Workgroups server that is sharing a local printer, network
print jobs may disappear from the Print Manager. If the local printer
encounters an error, such as running out of paper, while printing a local
job and other network jobs are queued, the Print Manager pauses and the
first network job listed in the queue disappears. If more than one network
job is waiting to print, the second and subsequent network print jobs are
not affected. This error only occurs if the current print job is from the
local machine.
There is no way to recover a lost network print job; you must resend it to
the printer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups
version 3.1 and version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here as it becomes available.
