does a line by line comparison of the device descriptions  of the printer
between the v4r2 and v5r1 systems show any differences?

When the printer stops printing on the v5r1 system does the writer job fail?
any error messages?

None of the below.

Rob, The printer was not "moved" except that the twinax was moved from the
brick on the V4R2 AS400 to the brick on the V5R1 AS400.  The printer was not
physically moved.  Could it be the brick on the V5R1 AS400 (yes, could be).
Paper was not unloaded/reloaded nor was paper thickness changed.

NeilP,  I'll try your suggestion of moving it to a new port on the brick
(perhaps it's the brick).

bdietz:  No the devices were not migrated and we tried the delete/recreate
of the device to no avail.

Jerry
