RE: Two writers, same IP, one won't run

I see. I was envisioning two writers to two devices, since the OP really
didn't say. I'm convinced that you surmised the intent correctly, though.
So to repeat: the job log is the best advice I have.

The OP was about two writers to the same printer/IP. You can have
multiple I devices attached to the same printer/IP. If you do it
correctly. There is a release timer on the psfcg object we associate
with printers.

Release timer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *SEC15

By setting it to 15 seconds, the writer will release the port within
the
configuration that the writer is printing to.
This allows for the same printer/IP to have multiple WRITERS attached
to
it.

This is what the OP was discussing. You mistook the two writers to be
two physical devices instead of logical devices.

If, by "release" you are referring to releasing an IP address, then
they
are
not used simultaneously (right?) - and the rule still applies. If
that's
not what you mean, please enlighten me. Unless the rules of the
universe
have changed fairly significantly, you'll not share IP address on a
single
network. It sounds to me like what you're doing is sharing a device,
which
is not the same thing at all!

Actually, you can if you "release" the printer between uses. We do
it
all the time since we have multiple systems pointing to the same
printer.

Most likely a printer definition has changed.

Something truly odd (and magical!) is going on if you've been able to
have
multiple devices with a single IP address. TCP/IP rules prevent the
possibility of sharing an IP address. Put another way, only one
device
*should* be able to use a particular IP address within its network at
any
given time.

The above command will lead you to jobjogs that should describe the
issue.

Something odd is going on. When I try to start one writer to a
printer,
it ends. All job log states is that it did not end normally. The
other writer to this IP address is working just fine.

This has worked fine until today.

Any ideas?
