Event 315 with error 2114 on startup

  • Artykuł

Recently some customers reported then got event 315 with error 2114 on every system startup. The printers and the system both work fine. The only problem is the event with error when the system starts up each time.

Root cause:

The spooler just uses the Server Service for sharing the printers. If the server service has not fully initialized when the spooler initializes and wants to share the printers, the error will be logged.

Resolution:

Check the server service and make sure there are no dependent services that have been changed from default settings.

In addition, make sure the printer driver is up to date.

More information:

I know that Lexmark has used DCOM in the past for monitor software and had issues. If you have a bunch of Lexmark devices, I'd check for DCOM errors (no clue if these are in the System event logs any more) and also verify if the Lexmark devices are using monitor software.

    As a basic user I have no idea what a server service is on my home network. Yes the info in this article confirmed what is on my computer event viewer. But does nothing to help me solve my problem.

    I had this problem when I turned on my printer before I started my computer.  When I start my computer first and then turn on the printer Event 315 with error 2114 disappears.

    Like Michael I'm just a basic user but don't think I have a home network. I have 1 PC & 1 printer,  I don't share with anyone. How do I resolve this error at every boot?

    Same issue. Changed the HP UDP driver from 5.6.5 to 5.7.0, now working.
