Any packets, Ping included (which are ICMP), will travel the path from the iSeries to the printer and back. By doing so the printer may be 'woken up' and as such finally handle the spool job. We have written jobs that do nothing but ping RF laser scanners to keep them from powering off and crashing the 5250 sessions. If this solution always works I'd set up a batch job to run and just do a Ping every minute or two. Negligible netowork or OS/400 overhead and if it works, you win.

I have been having problems w/ a remote printer, that actually goes through a third party 
warehouse. The spool will stay in "SND" status. I tell the manager there to 
reset everything then I END the writer, restart. Often nothing happens, but then I 
remember to see if I can PING, and then it prints again. Does the PING so something?
