Re: Writer keeps on ending and needs to be restarted NUMEROUS times during the day

Is this a remote output queue or a device? I am guessing a device.
Does the MFRTYPMDL properly identify the device? Is the driver
program correct for the printer? Since writer ends after a spool
file, it seems it is trying to do something the printer doesn't like.
What about forms? Cut sheet or continuous? Just guessing.

Here is a joblog and it seems to be code 20.
But what does it mean, and more importantly, how is it rectified?
