Hey all,
So I have a printer, a Lexmark X1150, hooked up to one of my machines, lets call it PC1. There are 3 other computers in the house that print to it. 2 are desktops, one is a laptop. They are all running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit including PC1, except one of my other desktops which is running 32bit. When I try to print over the network, the job shows up in the print queue as "Printing" but nothing happens, no error messages, nothing. However, after I restart the Print Spooler service, all of the queued jobs will start to print.
PS: When I print something directly from PC1 and not over the network, it prints immediately, no problems.
Thing I have tried so far:
1. Reinstall printer drivers (on both PC1 and the client machines)
2. Delete system32/spool/printers (as recommended by a microsoft employee on a different forum)
3. Tried disabling spooling and setting to "Print directly to the printer"
4. Set to render print jobs on the client computer
All of these give the same result as my initial problem. Number 3 also has the side effect of not properly printing on PC1 either. (The printer undocks the cartridges, then docks them right away without pulling any paper in and my printer driver declares "Printing Complete")
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
