Symptoms

You have a client computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. When you try to print to a non-Windows-based Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) server, the print job fails.This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:

  • The IPP server requires Basic authentication.

  • The print job is large.

Cause

This issue occurs because Windows does not correctly listen for replies from the IPP server when a print job is spanned over multiple TCP packets. Some IPP implementations reply to IPP job requests after they receive the first packet. However, Windows listens for the job status message only after it sends all the packets in the print job. Therefore, if the print job is large, the operating system does not receive Access Denied responsesin a timely manner and resends the print job with authentication.
