RE: [WhatsUp Forum] monitoring print queues

[Hunt, Jim]

I only monitor the spooler service and have it set to restart.  Occasionally a job makes it stop.    Jim Hunt Certified Network & Systems Engineer Northwestern School Corporation Technology Services Manager http://technology.nwsc.k12.in.us   http://www.ProWinHost.com | Professional Windows Hosting | Professional Windows Reselling http://www.AlertServ.com | Managed and Incident Windows Server Support | Custom Alerting http://www.NetMon.org | Network Monitoring Tools and Tutorials | Includes MRTG for Dummies   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 9:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] monitoring print queues   ----- Forwarded by Bruce Webber/CH/Novartis on 10/23/2003 10:20 AM -----   Bruce Webber 10/23/2003 10:11 AM                 To:        [EMAIL PROTECTED]'         cc:                 Subject:        monitoring print queues What's Up Wizards..... I have an on-going issue where our MS 2000 server that has all our print queues on them stops printing.  There is no log in the eventlog or anything else that I know of to try and capture this problem, but yet it stills happens about once a month, sometimes it's all printers, sometimes just half of them. Does anyone know of any tools to monitor printer queues/jobs to see if they are functioning?  Does anybody out there monitor their printers?  if so, how? Thanks for any advice....
