Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Windows 8.1 laptop.

  • You add a wireless printer to the laptop by using a Web Services for Devices (WSD) port.

  • You start a high-quality print job.

In this scenario, the print job gets canceled automatically.

Cause

This problem occurs because the data that is required to process a high-quality print job is too large to send through all the protocols (SOAP, HTTP, and TCP) that are required of a WSD printer.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, we have released an update rollup and a hotfix for Windows 8.1.

The update rollup fixes many other issues in addition to the issue that the hotfix fixes. We recommend that you use the update rollup. The update rollup is larger than the hotfix. Therefore, the update rollup takes longer to download.

Get the update rollup for Windows 8.1To resolve this issue, install the December 2014 update rollup for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2.
