USB Printer not clearing jobs
« on: May 07, 2006, 07:14:53 AM »
I have noticed that the USB printer (HP Deskjet 6500 series) prints fine when the job monitor is empty,  but if there is a successful printed document that hasn't cleared it won't continue printing.

It never used to do this with older versions of SME but version 6.5rc1 and 7.0rc1 and now with rc2 it does this.

Is there any reason why I have to cancel "printed" documents and refresh the job monitor before I can print again?  Shouldn't the server be clearing the job queue once they are completed?

have done that but wasn't sure whether it is a localised issue with my hardware or a legitimate bug.  I don't like bothering devs with problems they don't need :)
