Print Server Spooler Sends Job to Print Device

The print monitor receives the job and interacts with local hardware drivers and transport drivers to send the job to its destination. The components in this process are:

• Print monitors, LOCALMON, redirector, LPRMON, DECMON, HPMON, NWMON, or LEXMON

• Transport protocols (either TCP/IP, NWLink, NetBEUI)

• Network hardware (routers, bridges)

The problem is likely in this process if it is limited to...

• All print devices accessed by a particular print monitor.

• All print devices on one segment of the LAN.

• One make/model/version of a particular print device.

• One parallel/serial cable.

The problem is also likely in this process if...

• Sending the same job to the same device by means of a different communication channel by using a different protocol, serial, or parallel port produces a successful print.

• Trying different parallel or serial cable produces a successful print.
