sounds like a printer on 192.168.2.3 has a job(s) spooled that's not using the proper LPR format.
clean the spooler out
@echo off
net stop spooler
del %windir%\system32\spool\*.
del %windir%\system32\spool\*.
net start spooler
and check the printer settings

192.168.2.3 is one of our XP workstations. I checked for .spl and .shd files and there were none. The only printer this workstation has installed is on an external print server (192.168.2.200). I think you are close, but I'm still getting the error. Any other ideas?

The TCP/IP printing service was running for no reason. I stopped the service, and the error messages stopped. Thanks for the help!
