Fri, 17 Aug 2001 04:13:55 GMT Aaron McGrath 2001-08-17T04:13:55Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/configuration-channel-busy/m-p/2415653#M13 I have JetAdmin 3.4 installed on NT 4.0 SP5. I added printers all day <BR />yesterday without a problem. Today some of the printers stopped responding. <BR />When I go into properties and configure port I get Configuration Channel Busy <BR />error. Any ideas? The only way I can get these printers to work again is to <BR />use HP TCP/IP printing instead of HP JetDirect Port. I am also occasionally <BR />getting a Dr. Watson of Spoolss.exe which stops the print spooler. I've tried <BR />reapplying SP5 to no avail.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR /><BR />Barry Kuske Fri, 22 Oct 1999 11:23:15 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/configuration-channel-busy/m-p/2415653#M13 Barry Kuske 1999-10-22T11:23:15Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/configuration-channel-busy/m-p/2415654#M14 Sorry Barry,<BR />Just making sure I get a reply to your question if someone actually does repley with an answer.<BR /><BR />I've got exactly the same problem...<BR /><BR />Configuration Channel Busy<BR />Cannot Communicate with printer.
