A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Our java printing application use remote printing from Windows 2008 Server, we have configured 40/50 printers (HP, RICOH, EPSON, Canon, Printronix, etc..,) on the server for the demand printing

Jasper report 4.1.2
JVM 1.7.0_21

When user prints few hundred reports then we face this exceptions especially if you have more Canon printer queues then the frequency of the issue is very often while your are requesting concurrent print jobs
