Setup: I have a HP psc 1350 using a zps2000 print server connected to a d-link 614+ router and my PC is XP pro sp3 networked with a wireless adapter.
Problem: During some print jobs the printer stops disconnects form the server and my processor goes to 100% (print spooler), then I recieve this error when I try to reconnect the printer through the printserver software (failed response from plugin device). When I reboot everthing is fine and the printer continues it's previous job, Is there a way to reconnect without the reboot? I have already tried, Restarting the print spooler, printer, router and print server. No Luck. Only the rebooting frees it up. Also this happens with 2 other PC's here printing to the same printer, so I don't believe it to be PC related.
Thanks
Dirty fix... When the printer errors out...stop, unplug the power to the printserver. Reset the printer, Clear the print que (delete jobs/restart print spooling service), restart the printserver software and plug the printserver power back in. Wait for the re-detect. Everthing should be good at this point. Unfortunatly the print job will be lost and you need to print again...BUT, NO REBOOT yea!!!
Note... for me, if this sequence is not followed, I will have to reboot. The printserver will be locked for the PC that was trying to print. All other PC's will be fine, and I have no idea why.
Good luck,
Bill
