Article summary

When I try to release a print job, I am charged for the job, but I get an error that says "Error accessing destination job: The parameter is incorrect". What can I do?


Open the printer properties through your favourite Windows mechanism, and check the spool settings on the Advanced tab. If the printer is set to "Print directly to the printer", change it to "Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster".

This allows the Print Server to finish all processing of the job before handing it off to the Windows spooler.
