Some print drivers are not cluster aware.

<div>
Yes, all groups and resources did go active. &nbsp;65td said some print drivers are not cluster aware, so is there a work around for that?<br />
<br />
In my Groups, I currently have both nodes as preferred owners. &nbsp;I will blank them out. &nbsp;Just to clarify, the resource in question is &quot;Spooler&quot; it already has both nodes set to possible owners. &nbsp;<br />

I have two Windows 2003 R2 servers, I have this set up as an active - passive file and print cluster. &nbsp;Whenever it fails from clust1 to clust2 server, some printers do not work, jobs get hung up in the queue. &nbsp;When I fail back to clust1, it prints. &nbsp;So printing to some of the printers does not work from clust2 which is strange, you figure no printers would work. &nbsp;They were all set up the same way to use the cluster service.<br />
<br />
I think it's because of the dependencies I have set up. &nbsp;The resource I have set up is called &quot;Spooler&quot; &nbsp;the dependencies are...<br />
<br />
Cluster IP Address<br />
Cluster Name<br />
Disk H - Data drive<br />
Disk Q - Quorum<br />
Root Share - H:\Userdata<br />
<br />
I am pretty sure I only require Cluster IP and Cluster Name. &nbsp;I am going to test this tonight, any feedback would be appreciated, thanks! &nbsp;

Active - Passive print cluster - What dependencies do I need?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
