XP has a print server and 10 connections limit...

[Jéjé]

Hi,

I know that XP support up to 10 connections.
but after a computer has printed, the connection still active instead of
behind released.

how can I disconnect a user after a print operation?

there is any timeout anywhere?

thanks.

Jerome.

To start it again - type NET START SPOOLER

welll... there is no other solution?
automated solution which doesn't required any manual process?
or setup to change.

(I don't want to stop/restart the service every hour using the scheduler)

The connection stays open until the client exits the application that is
holding the connection open. Remote Procedure Call times out the connection
about 60 seconds after the application exits. You can instruct users to
close the applications after printing but they will never remember this and
I have seen instances where the desktop shell process was the application
holding the connection and that requires a logoff..

If you disable notifications, at least the desktop shell process cannot hold
the connection

you can use the net sess command to bump connections. There is an idle time
you can process or delete all current connections

net sess /delete /y
