Post subject: Persistent spooler connection Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>print_fax_scan (more info?)
I have two Vista machines running peer-to-peer on a home network. One
shares a printer (an HP DeskJet 960c) and the other acts as a client.
When the client prints, it leaves an open connection to \spoolss on
the server, and it's almost impossible to kill. If I try to end the
session from the server side (using the Shared Folders tool), it
returns within a minute. If I try to restart the spooler service on
the client, nothing happens. The only thing I've found that kills it
for awhile is rebooting the client, and that works only until the
client prints something again. Meanwhile, while the session is open,
neither the client PC nor the server PC will go to sleep.
Any ideas? Pretty extensive Googling hasn't turned up anything about
this problem.

Is "Wake on LAN" enabled in the BIOS? If so, try disabling it.

the spoolss pipe will stay open until the application that sent the print
job is closed. If there is a printer tray icon on the client , then the
explorer process has the spoolss pipe open.
