Printer busy with other job....

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

I have a printer that I use through a mini printer server.
For a long time it worked very well.
Just out of the blue we get a message "Print server busy with other
job...wait 50 sec or cancel"

Checked everything - driver - printer - network - printserver...all
looked ok.
Even uninstalled and re-installed everything, nothing worked.

Until I removed the lid from the printer where under the print server
resides.

By the not completely fitting of the lid over the print server, the
connector of the printserver was slightly moved and 'bended' so the
contacts where a bit loosening.

Took a small saw and removed a piece of the casing of the printer to
accommodate room for the print server.
Everything connected and tada.. it is working again.

So you see its not always a complicated solution you can use to deal
with difficulties.
