1.Hour Glass pause after logingOn to windows 2K...

Hello,

I need your kind help with this problem.  I am using a windows
2000 professional box (Compaq Presario Desktop), its a standalone
machine with all the updates and all the service packs and fixes.
works like a Charm with no problem at all. However, in the past
three weeks, after bootingUp and logingOn with my Administrator
account password as usual, I get the deskTop image with all the
icons on it, and the status bar with the start Button at the
buttom of the screen. Now, if I try to click the start Button,
the mouse is an hour glass and the computer is not responsive.

I removed all the startUp programs from the startup folder, but
it did not change any thing with this problem at all. If I press
Ctrl-Alt-Delete and logOff and logOn again, the problem will
disapprear and I do not get the Hour glass, and the machine works
just fine again. Weird.

I ran ScanDisk program from a DOS prompt with a startUp flopy
Disk, no problems with the hardDrive whatsoever.

Thanks a lot for your help.

2.print spooler pauses on every print job

Hello,

I am finding multiple users who are experiencing a pause on the print job 
every time a print job is sent.  Does anyone know why this could be 
happening?  We don't have job priorities scheduled in the printer, they are 
all local printers.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you. 

3.Server 2003 SP1 "Paused - Printing" Question: Managed Printing via GoPrint

All,

This one is a doozy but maybe SOMEONE out there has experienced this
and knows why it is happening. Here goes:

Running Server 2003 SP1 on a Dell dual-Xeon Poweredge 1750 with 4GB
memory. BIOS and firmware(s) are all up to date. The only things
installed on this box are SQL server 200 SP4 plus post SP4 patch and a
print control management software called GoPrint. The problem that we
are encountering is that every once in a while we find a job in one of
our print queues that says "Paused - Printing." These jobs come from
both Mac OS X 10.4.7 and Windows XP SP2 machines. It is not something
that can be reproduced as it happens very randomly (about twice per
week).

A little background on the print queues:

1) All Mac print queues on Server 2003 use PostScript and all Windows
XP queues are PCL. The Mac queues USED to be PCL but we seemed to have
much better success and fewer problems when we switched to Postscript.
2) ALL firmware on the printers and jetdirect cards are up to date.
The printers are 8150DN (96MB RAM) and 4350DTN (96MB RAM). Network is
100MB full duplex. ALL Server 2003 queues have Advanced Printing
Features check-box turned off. The GoPrint vendor explicitly requires
them to be off.

3) GoPrint is a print management solution that queues and releases
jobs from a release station that is next to a printer based on user
authentication (username and password). The release station
communicates directly with the GoPrint server software. A successful
authentication at the release station allows a student to see their
jobs on screen, click on the jobs they want to print, and then click a
Print Jobs confirmation button on the screen. This action then sends a
command to the GoPrint software / print queue to release the job to
the adjacent printer.

It seems to be that every once in a while the process in the above
item 3) is done normally but the job never is released from the queue
to the printer. When I look in the queue, I see the message "Paused -
Printing" and the job is basically stuck floating in limbo. If left to
sit there, it holds up the queue and print jobs for any other poor
user who releases a job. There is NO WAY for ANY user to pause a job.
I have looked in the event viewer and see that the job is released
from the spooler and queue just fine (no errors, yellow triangles,
nothing). Once you delete the "Paused - Printing" job, all the rest
come flooding out to the printer like there was never a problem.

So my question is this: Is there ANY way to debug, troubleshoot, or
monitor for this particular "Paused - Printing" error? The GoPrint
vendor is certain it is the rather poor implementation of the spooler
Microsoft has made and the fact that is has no error checking built
into it in these kinds of events. Any input would be stellar!!! TIA!!

4.Print jobs get stuck with status "Paused - Printing" and holds the

We have a problem with our print system.
(Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition)

Currently we use a third party print system software with the possibility to 
have print quota, log prints, save spooler files (.spl files) to log events, 
active confirmation of print jobs. This is how it works:
A user on a client prints a dokument to a printer in our print server. A 
popup windows shows up, and the user has to click "Print" button to release 
the print job. (The print job is paused in the printer queue by the third 
party software on the print server, and when the user clicks "Print", it is 
released.) If the user clicks "Cancel" or the popup-window-time at 60 seconds 
will pass the job is automaticly canceled by the software (but logged and 
.spl file stored).

Our printers are: Brother HL-5070N, HL-5270DN

Now to the problem. Some times (not often, but it can happen every day) a 
print job get stuck in the printer queue with the job status: "Paused - 
Printing". When this happens, the print job holds the queue, and no other 
submitted job can get printed. No user has access to the print queue (to 
resume, delete or restart print jobs because then the programs function of 
print quota control will fail), so the job will stay stuck until the job 
disapears (I'm not sure that it will happen qucikly).
It is not an option to stop the spooler or manually delete the stuck job, we 
need this to work without manual influence.

I had some solutions that it could be a missconfiguration in the printer 
drivers that did not correspond to the settings of the printer, but I'm not 
sure that that is the problem.
I also tried to set the printers to "Start printing after last page is 
spooled" today, and maybe it will be better if the files (small as big print 
jobs) are spooled to 100% when the status of the job it thrown between Paused 
and Printing. But this is just a guess...

Does anyone know what the solution to this problem is?
If you have had this problem, how did you try to solve it?
Do you think that any of the to guesses here above can/will work?

I attached a image that shows the print status.

Thanks!

5.Printing to non-domain printer OR adding non-domain printer to dom

My laptop is set up for my office domain.  Sadly, this means I've never been 
able to figure out how to print to any of my printers at home.  Is there a 
way to print to a non-domain printer, or, in the alternative, is there a way 
to add one of my home printers to the domain for printing while at home?  The 
printer I'd prefer to print to is an Apple Laserwriter IIg on my home network.
