RE: Twinax printer IBM 6412 IPDS on V4.5

Correction to the main issue:
There is problems with the TCP printers as well - 
Losing communication with the printer if the report is a bit larger.

Thanks for any ideas!

We just upgraded from V3.7 to new box 820 on  V4.5 and we have constant 
problems with the printers.
They are twinax attached - ( fiber optic transferred to the next block) - could 
print first 5-10 pages and stops with the following message:

Status is VARIED ON ,and just the writer is stopped.
After starting the writer - the same story. 
Any ideas would be appreciated.
