| Hi, This is a very bizzare one. I have installed SQL many times and never had this problem. I had a user self install SQL 2005, as it turns out, he installed the wrong components, so a co-worker uninstalled it for him. We followed the support doc for the uninstall, because we had errors when tried to remove it. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967After, we were able to re-install (we installed this time via the command line), but for some odd reason we have completely lost the ability to print to ANY network printer. I didn't think this was possible, but I tried it on my machine and now I too am unable to print! A couple of details: Both machines: XP-SP2HP dx7400Printers: a variety of HP Networked Printers (can't print to any)I have added and removed the printers multiple times and tried adding via a local port... no luckThere is no error in the event logIf I try to print a test page, I get an error box that says "Test Page Failed to Print"Since there are no real errors for the print issue, I am struggling to find a solution. Has anyone ever seen this??Thanks!Dria |

| I found a related issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832219/en-usIt turns out that the issue is the unidrv.dllThis behavior may occur if you install the service pack or hotfix package on a server that has many Unidrv-based Printer Control Language (PCL) printer drivers. In the .NET Framework 3.0, the unidrv.dll file is now included with XPS printing. The unidrv.dll file can also trigger this behavior.Installing .NET 3.0 fixed the issue |
