WALLAH (or however you spell that) !!!!

The spool job is using jobd QSPLAFPW (this partuclar printer uses AFP...) and 
the
"Inquiry message reply" is *SYSRPYL and this printer is NOT defined in my system
reply list "printer section" so it when it sees THAT it must use the message
default which is H !!!!!!

<Also, if these messages are not being sent to  QSYSOPR (because of a parm on
STRPRTWTR or on the DEVD (?)) then *that* message queue could be set to auto
reply, or someone may have cleared it.>

I don't see where the JOBD defines that but that gets me thinking - most 
printers
have there messages going to a workstation message queue and NOT QSYSOPR... 
Thais
one is going to QSYSOPR ! That may have something to do with this also...

Still don't get the "timing" deal !

Thank you VERY much !!!
