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thinks it is out of date.
I'm afraid this is not enough:
I have an XP machine with two users
(domain logon, roaming profile, both
have administrator privileges on the pc).
User no. 2:
1. regedit, remove the values above.
2. exit regedit, log out&in
3. check regedit, no printers appear in
DevModePerUser or DevModes2
4. start a program that uses a printer,
access is fine. Exit program.
5. start regedit, no printers appear in
DevModePerUser or DevModes2
User no. 1
1. regedit, remove the values above.
2. exit regedit, log out&in
3. check regedit, no printers appear in
DevModePerUser or DevModes2
4. start a program that uses a printer,
access is slow. Exit program.
5. start regedit, the default printer appears
in DevModePerUser
Why this difference between users?
