Jack,
In previous posts it was all about a Dell network printer.
We know nothing about your home printer to even begin discussing this.
Type of printer
Exact config
OS Version
Are you up to date with printing ptfs

Also, check printing joblogs WRKSPLF SELECT(QSPLJOB *ALL *ALL PE) where PE
is the printer name
If log not showing details, then change jobd QSPLPRTW (this is jobd I get
for a host print transform network printer) to log more detail
Message logging:
Level . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 4
Severity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 0
Text . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *SECLVL
Log CL program commands . . . . . . . . . . . . : *YES

Btw - I would start with the joblogs - they may indicate exactly why not
printing..

Subject: Re: Printing JPG's again

So something happened. Originally I was in my home office printing the
JPEG's on my dell laser fine. I went to the office, tried to print on their
printer and it would not work. I struggled a few days trying to get it to
work.

I came home and it's not working on my printer either. Either I've lost my
mind or I changed something that broke it.

If I email the spoolfile to myself as a PDF it looks fine.

I noticed now that I'm back home my laser print starts printing immediately
when I release the spool file. previously it would take 10-20 seconds to
start printing, almost like it took awhile to send the data. Is there
something on the Printer device or setting on the IBM i that would make it
not send that data down?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated

Try changing the printers job timeout (on the printer) to the max 300
seconds)
You may have such a tiny bit of memory in there the spool not
processed before timeout I've had to do that for many printers Jim

Go down to "Error Messages for *LAN PJL Device Descriptions" and click
to expand (I this web feature... IE sometimes hangs) Look for the
CPD337C - many possibilities

Good Luck

WRKWTR, then F17 to see the writer job, then option 10 to look at
the job log. If IBM i is diagnosing something, it should be in there.
Otherwise, it's probably on the printer's side.

To that end, I see that the 5100cn allows Postscript - is the
printer somehow stuck in that mode as opposed to PCL mode?
