Lou: Does it only happen with large reports? If the writer is Host Print Transform(*YES), the 400 will convert the whole spool file to *Ascii (or something else I'm not really sure of) before it starts to print. That should take awhile. BTW, who in the world would want to print a 1000 page report much less read one? Art Tostaine, Jr. CCA, Inc.

It's a habit we picked up long ago when dealing with dot matrix printers on print servers. I've just never seen it this bad before. I've ended the outq in question, walked out on the dock, verified the printer was online and had paper, turned the print server and printer off and on again just for good luck, walked back to the office, started the writer back up, and the spool file still goes to 'SND' and stays there. Then, half an hour later, the printer starts. I added quite a bit of memory to the *SPOOL pool, and increased the number of active jobs in the pool, and I'll see if that has any effect. It would not be unusual for this location to have over 20 printers running reports at once, with one or two of them being huge multi-1000 page reports. -------------------------- Lou Schmaus MIS Director Apparel Distribution, Inc. lou@appareld.com
