Re: Two writers, same IP, one won't run

On the CRTDEVPRT, parameter INACTTMR...

Basically, the system doesn't keep a TCP/IP connection to the device
if it doesn't have spool files to send.

This allows the device to be shared, so for instance you can have a
Windows printer defined to print to the same physical printer without
using the i as a print server; or as in this case you can have
multiple DEVD going to the same physical printer...

If, by "release" you are referring to releasing an IP address, then they are

not what you mean, please enlighten me.  Unless the rules of the universe
have changed fairly significantly, you'll not share IP address on a single
network.  It sounds to me like what you're doing is sharing a device, which
is not the same thing at all!

No time spent with a cat on your lap, can ever be considered 'wasted.'

Actually, you can if you "release" the printer between uses.  We do it
all the time since we have multiple systems pointing to the same
printer.

Most likely a printer definition has changed.

Something truly odd (and magical!) is going on if you've been able to
have
multiple devices with a single IP address.  TCP/IP rules prevent the
possibility of sharing an IP address.  Put another way, only one device
*should* be able to use a particular IP address within its network at
any
given time.

WRKJOB name_of_writer

The above command will lead you to jobjogs that should describe the
issue.

The bigger they are, the harder they hit.

Something odd is going on.  When I try to start one writer to a

printer,

it ends.  All job log states is that it did not end normally.  The
other writer to this IP address is working just fine.

This has worked fine until today.

Any ideas?
