Print jobs in an offline print queue are missing or incomplete after you print a second document to the print queue in Windows Server 2008 or in Windows Vista


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • A printer is installed on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Vista SP2.
  • The print queue for this printer is offline.
  • You print some documents to the offline print queue. When you take this action, the documents are added to the offline print queue.
  • You print a second document to the offline print queue. However, when you take this action, you check the Print to file check box.
In this scenario, you notice that all print jobs in the offline print queue are missing or incomplete. These include the job that was printed to a file. However, the expected behavior is that the job that was printed to a file is printed successfully and that any other print jobs remain in the print queue.

Note If the Print directly to the printer option is selected for the print queue, the issue does not occur. This problem can also occur if the printer is experiencing an error condition. For example, this problem occurs if the printer is out of paper.

Cause

When the print spooler service assigns a print port to a job that was printed to a file, the printer spooler service does not check whether the print job matches the print port. This interferes with existing print jobs in the print queue.
