Is this what you | are talking about?? Ahhh David... You're *killing* me :-) Yes. This is exactly what I was talking about. | Procedure: | 1. Edit the registry observing usual caution. | 2. Locate the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModePerUser | 3. Remove all VALUES for Network printers of the form: | \<print_server_name ><printer_queue_name> | 4. Locate the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModes2 | 5. Remove all VALUES for Network printers of the form: | \<print_server_name><printer_queue_name> The Windows print cache is timestamp based. The client spooler gets in a loop where it continually asks the server for the timestamp (ChangeID) on a given printer. In spite of the fact that the timestamp has been incremented by some change to the printer, the client never updates its local cache of printer data. And so it continually thinks it is out of date. cheers, jerry ===================================================================== Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ----- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "I never saved anything for the swim back."
