Hi Tom, >From your description, it sounds like the print servers that you use cannot keep a TCP socket connection open to more than one host at a time. You can therefore go to the IBM iSeries Support Web Site and view the knowledgebase regarding Print. There are articles in the knowledgebase covering both the OS/400 PJL and SNMP driver setup on the web site. The articles explain which timer you can enable on the OS/400 side of the connection that will close the socket connection towards the printer, when no files are in the OS/400 queue in Ready status, but still leave the print writer running. This change should let your OS/400 and NDPS printing requirements co-exist peacefully. If you need further suggestions, please feel free to contact me directly off list.
