    Print jobs hanging, queues not clearing

    Periodically (every 2 days) print jobs hang and will not clear. Both nodes
    of the cluster (2003 Enterprise) have to be rebooted and then printing
    resumes successfully. Seeing 6161 errors in the System event log that may
    or may not be related to this.

    Re: Print jobs hanging, queues not clearing

    what is the error code returned from the 6161 error? There are a couple of
    transport failures that get caught here

    Re: Print jobs hanging, queues not clearing

    I've seen random codes, for example:

    Error Code returned by the print processor: 2. The system cannot find the
    file specified.
    Error Code returned by the print processor: 259. No more data is available.
    Error Code returned by the print processor: 1241. The network address could
    not be used for the operation requested.
    Error Code returned by the print processor: 2250. This network connection
    does not exist.
    Error Code returned by the print processor: 0. The operation completed
    successfully. (this one is somewhat baffling).

    I am not certain there is a definite correlation between the 6161s and the
    jobs getting stuck in the queue, but it seems as though every time the queue
    problem surfaces, there are some 6161's in the event log, but not for every
    print job, very intermittent.

    Re: Print jobs hanging, queues not clearing

    these two are when the device is not reachable on the current transport

    error 2 (file not found)

    259 The application stopped sending data, the job usually prints after the
    timeout

    0 Usually indicates a rendering failure and GDI (the process that the
    spooler calls to transform data to page) reset the failure ID to 0.

    GDI rendering can fail due to resource failures. If there is a GDI handles
    leak, the spooler will post a 6162 error when the GDI handle count
    approaches the limit (default is 10000). For most other GDI failures the
    return code is 0 and it's hard to track them down. The jobs are typically
    deleted since GDI signals that it's done with them.


    Since the jobs just hang there, is there any other 3rd party print monitor
    software on the server. HP has something called HP Master Monitor.

    Re: Print jobs hanging, queues not clearing

    No, there are no third-party monitors installed on either node of the
    cluster. I neglected to mention earlier this was a clustered print server.

    Re: Print jobs hanging, queues not clearing

    You mentioned cluster previously

    the support group normally has one remove all the third party print language
    and port monitor software. What monitors are listed under the node
    registry as well as the cluster registry

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors

    Re: Print jobs hanging, queues not clearing

    Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors:

    Node 1:
    BJ Language Monitor
    Local Port
    MPD Port 2.0 (not on node 2)
    PJL Language Monitor
    Standard TCP/IP Port
    USB Monitor

    Node 2:
    BJ Language Monitor
    Local Port
    PJL Language Monitor
    Standard TCP/IP Port
    USB Monitor

    Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Cluster\Resources\CLUSTERGUID\Parameters\Monitors I
    am not sure how to determine the cluster GUID. I see GUIDs listed under the
    Cluster key (ClusterInstanceID and ClusterNameResource) but don't see those
    GUIDs listed under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Cluster\Resources keys.

    Re: Print jobs hanging, queues not clearing

    the GUID for the spooler service is what ever it is. It's nothing the
    spooler assigns.

    I normally just start opening keys until I find the spooler. This number
    does match the directory where the print drivers reside.
