Yes some idiot took a printer with a JetDirect card and installed it on server2 and shared it.  Okay, thats fine nothing wrong there but they then went and added a network printer on server 1 which was pointing to the share on server2.  And it really went crazy.

Just wish sometimes that DCOM errors were easier to track.  Sometimes the Event ID numbers are suppsoed to correspond to certain events according to Microsoft but in actual effect they are something completely different.

Thanks anyway.  I dont like critical errors in my event log !

To get rid of the error you can unregister hpbpro.dll and then delete the key "{5A5AA0AA-1DEB-4683-96B0-B43301E83971}" under CLSID
