Hello friends,
This question has been asked before in the group, but I
found no answer to it.
"A print server (Win 2000 sp3) is setup to send
print notifications. They work fine going to Win2000 Pro
workstations but the WinXP's do not receive any
notification.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks." (Bill.Slade 2003-1-29)
I have the same problem, but I have done a few further tests:
1) The smb message containing the notification
eg. "Printing complete" actually *reaches* the workstation,
as the "ethereal" network sniffer proved. This means that
the printer and the print server do their job correctly.
2) When I send a
> net send my_xp "Hello" or
> echo "Hello" | smbclient -M my_xp
to the computer, the popup appears ok, BUT, if I send
> net send my_xp "Printing complete"
the popup message is NOT SHOWN!!!
I have spend many hours searching for a solution on this,
and have thoroughly consulted what is commonly mentioned, eg.
the option "Notify when Remote Documents are Printed" at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q122160
etc.
Could someone please give an educated reply on
this strange problem?
Many thanks for any help,
Regards,
