TROUBLESHOOTING THE M204: Windows Problems 155

Printer and Network Errors

Anytime you have several Windows for Workgroups (WfW) stations printing

directly to a print server, you may run into various printer and network errors. The

problem occurs when one station is sending a print job to the printer and another

station tries to send a print job to the same printer at the same time. The print

server tells the second station to hold on to its data until it has ﬁnished with the

ﬁrst job. However, the Print Manager on this second station doesn’t like this and

errors out. This requires that the user on the second station resubmit their job

when the printer is clear again.

This problem will occur with any external print server that does not spool entire

print jobs (which is the case for every print server on the market today). The Print

Manager likes to send the data it spools immediately and if it can’t do this

(because the printer is already busy with another job) it will produce an error say-

ing the network or printer is busy.

The best solution to this problem is to then have a central spooling station (like an

NT server) which allows each WfW station to spool the print job immediately to

the server’s hard drive. The NT server then can sit with the print job until the print

server/printer can take it. The print server then only deals with one station and it

goes through each job as it gets queued up.

It is not possible to set up a WfW station as the central spooling device since you

cannot share a printer on the network that is already being shared. It is because a

“net use” connection is used between this central station and the print server that

causes the problem. However, a central NT station can offer a shared network

printer to these WfW stations.
