Network printer

I have many network printer connected to the seerver. I need to add on more new printer on it. While I am trying to add it through SAM .. it says

"Adding a printer requires the print spooler to be temporarily stopped │ │
│┌─│ but 4 requests are currently either being printed on local printers │─┐ │
││ │ or being sent to remote printers. Stopping the spooler will cause │ ^ │
││ │ the requests to be reprinted or resent. │ │ │
││ │ │ │ │
││ │ Do you want to proceed with the task? "


SO how can I add it without interepting the curent printing

Re: Network printer

the answer is that you cannot..

the spooler needs to be shutdown in order to add a new queue..

either wait or shutdown the spooler. the jobs should reprint once the spooler is restarted..

Re: Network printer

AS mentioned, you cannot make changes to the print spooler such as add or delete without stopping the spooler. The is a SysV Unix spooler standard.
