Title: Pause Printing!
Post by: thunder82 on August 15, 2008, 10:35:04 AM

Hello everyone..

I am unable to pause printing jobs as I am getting an error message in the status bar saying "Access denied".

Will someone guide me how can I pause incoming printing jobs?

Thanks in advance

I could be wrong with this, but i am under the impression that the usb port is set to be unidirectional instead of by directional, which certain printer software needs to report things back like ink level etc..., so certain functions might not work. i had printing working with my HP Photosmart 7150 but always found it extreemly slow and had some problems with certain feature. so eventually i decieded to by an all in one wireless hp printer and not use the DNS323 and it is much better.  picked mine up for about $100

I used a Canon MF3110 (printing only) and now I have a Brother HL-5140 on the DNS-323.  Both of those work fine on this box.  The port is uni-directional, so printers that require full-duplex communications will have a problem.  My color printer is a HP PhotoSmart C7280 which is a network printer.

does not matter what printer you have it should work on the dns-323 as longs as its usb.

the problem is that with my computer i have no admin rights to the printer and the only option you can do with the dns-323 is clear the print queue. we need printer controls through the dns-323.

if i try to resume it tells me access denied.

anyone know how to solve this?

Have you looked at SharePort?

Actually this is far from the case - not just with the DNS-323 but with print servers in general - some printers (both USB and parallel port) will NOT work with any printserver.

Because of the design of the print server used, I don't think you can have control - what happens here is that the print job is sent to the DNS-323 which basically acts as a remote spooler, and stores the print jobs in spool file on the disk, and then sends them one by one - no provision exists for control.
