Hi, I have xp sp2 on 7 pc's and all but one won't print to a panasonic
dp-4510 copier/printer/scanner/fax. I setup the printer as a standard tcp/ip
printer with the ip address of the printer. I can ping the printer with no
problem. I click on configure port and set all the settings: lpr port with
queue name lp and LPR byte counting enabled with snmp status enabled. These
are the settings everone else has and works fine. When I print from this one
laptop I keep the printer open so that I can see the print test go in the
queue and disappear without printing, never reaches the printer.
 
Are there any System events during this failure? Specifically error 6161.
Also enable informational events (Printers Folder, File, Server Properties,
Advanced.) and see if the spooler thinks the job actually printed.

If you are getting access denied (error 5) any place, make sure the user has
read and write access to the local spool directory (default is
\windows\system32\spool\printers)
