I have a W2K3 server running TS. I have one computer who's printer will not
map through to the server. The computer is W2K Pro using a HP LJ1100 printer
(Parallel not USB). The computer used to be able to connect just fine and
print. Now when she tries to connect it won't map the printer. In the event
log, i get the following error:
Event ID: 1112
Source: TermServDevices
Failed to register for user printing preferences change notification. Open
the Services snap-in and confirm that the Printer Spooler service is running.

All other users are working properly, and i double checked the spooler
service was running. I even restarted the services to make sure it was
responding. The server has the 1100 driver installed. I even installed an
1100 printer to my LPT1 port and then connected to the server. My dummy
printer was mapped through with no problem.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I haven't found much on KB or Google.
Thanks
Rich

You should log out the user and log him/her back in. That should reset the
state of the user printing preferences change notification, which occurs on
a per-session basis. If that does not fix it, you should look for
additional events in the system event log with the TermServDevices source
and contact PSS.
