Update.... when I send the file sndnetsplf - it prints.. when it sends via our auto remote outq's it doesn't print.... we are printing 10 cpi; 66 length; 132 wide; 6 lpi. We print a ton of other things via remote outq -- The printers are the same model. They are configured exactly the same.

I go back to my prior statement, sounds like a bug to me.

Sounds like, and I'm making a lot of assumptions here, you are doing 15 cpi printing. The 4234, when set properly, will switch back and forth from 10 cpi to 15 cpi as appropriate. (It's been over 12 years since I used one.)

It should not terminate is the settings are not appropriate. It should either send a message, or print in the wrong cpi. As this printer is really not current technology, it likely doesn't have IBM's focus, and it sounds like a bug to me. Keep in mind that this printer came out on the System/38. (BTW, I think that it was/is a wonderful printer. Today I no longer use any tractor based printers.)

We have a JDE simple Accounting report that we are printing out. We send it system1 that has a 4234 printer attached to it to print - it prints. But when we send it to system2 that has the same type of printer - 4234 - attached it automaticly ends. Why?
The configuration on both systems are identicle. Is there some kind of hardware physical configuration on the printer that I could change? TIA
