Printing problem in TS on Win2k Server

Hi there,

I have a win2k box running as a terminal server, the problem is that when
a user prints a document the document prints fine, however the document
stays in the printer cue showing up as printed, and then it randomly prints
again later in the day.

does anyone have any ideas?

other useful info is as follows:
Server is win2k (standard configuration, adsl through a cisco router)
Printer are HP 1200 (using M$ fix for printing through USB-Dot4)
clients are a mix of Windows ME & XP

Server is running SP4 with all latest patches.

I have tried resetting the permissions on the spooler directory in in
system32 etc, but this hasn't made any difference.
I have turned of Bi-Directional support for the printer and am waiting to
see if this has made a difference.
I have checked all permissions (at all levels - user, group, accounts etc),
all seem to be okay.

I have searched extensivelly through both Google & Microsoft but not found
anything yet.

Thanks in advance

Scott

the DOT4 is really a PITA! Server 2003 fixes most of it and that is likely
the culprit. I've had to use another convoluted workaround that probably
isn't suggested but had no choice. If you are going to 2003 then I would
have it fixed then.
