Printer taskbar icons gone ?

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

Hi all

all our users running XP SP2 and networked printers (from a 2k server) have
noticed that when they print the taskbar icon no longer appears. Is there
some way of re-enabling this ? Is this a server or XP problem ? Most
machines were recently upgraded to SP2 so there may be a connection ?

thanks for any help you can provide

Thanks for the reply, I understand what you mean but this is not the case
here, most of our users print large files (A0 drawings etc) and our printers
usually have plenty in the queue ahead.

any more help greatly appreciated
