After installing a new (print)server with Windows 2003 server (Enterprise
Edition R2) with sp2 we observe the next problem.
When sp2 is installed a number of printer queues got the status ‘offline’,
and the printjobs are no longer processed. When however snmp on the standard
tcp-ip port is gedisabled the print queue gets the status online again, and
it works fine. The printjobs are printed again.
I’ve searched through the knowledge base, but no real solution for this
found. I also searched on the Internet but found no useful result for us,
they all advice to disable snmp on the tcp-ip port.
To disable snmp on tcp-ip ports on our infrastructure is no option because
then we don’t get anymore the messages of print-job ready, out-of-paper and
toner-low. Also our mgt-tools uses snmp to manage the printers. We use
HP-printers and standard tcp-ip ports and raw data with snmp enabled
As sp2 is not installed op the server we can use snmp and all our printer
queues works fine. But not installing sp2 for above reason is not desirable.
Because all other improvements of sp2 are not installed.
Has anyone an idea how can we solve the problem of snmp and printers in
combination with w2k3 and sp2 without disabling snmp on our tcp-ip ports?
