    Hi,

    Every morning I get the following error on my Print Server. Until I click
    "OK" some of the print jobs will not print. Once I click OK the queue will
    clear. The message is:

    "The print spooler was unable to connect to your printer. This can be caused
    by your printer being turned off, the cable being unplugged, or being
    connected to a VPN, which will block your access to your local network."

    I have checked all the aboue suggestions and they are not the problem. Any
    help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Scott Anderson
