Printer is always PAUSED

Sadky in my case the Printer Menu does not show the printer as paused so
there is nothing to untick. Different problem I guess.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you find the solution.

Is the Port a Local Port or a Lanman Port? What type of print server device
are you using?

If this is a connection to a machine Windows machine sharing a printer, what
version of Windows?

The port shows as: HP standard TCP/IP port
The printer is HP2605dn laser printer connected to a router.

I have 3 PCs connected to the router, all with WindowsXPpro SP3.

All worked perfectly with this printer for over a year.
Now 2 still work, but one PC shows this printer as "paused" (and I cannot
change this).

This PC does print OK to a different printer (via the router).

Try creating a new Standard TCP/IP Port (not HP) to the device using the
same hostname. I assume the router supports LPD or Port 9100 protocols.
Check the configuration of the HP Port and set up the Standard TCP/IP Port
in this config.

I assume the HP Port supports Paused in the monitor which will send this
info to the spooler service and update the printer status but I would think
that stopping and starting the spooler would reset this data.
