Eric - Thank you VERY much.
There was an issue with just the PC on which the C/A sessions were
running. I had restarted the PC yesterday and had ended and re-started
all the sessions, but to no avail.
Just now, when I tried to print a notepad job from that PC to the
printer, I received a messages - something like "RPC server is
unavailable", and it would not print.
So - I completely shut it down, and restarted, and then was forced to
enter a new password (the old one expired). I wondering if the pending
password change caused a service
to 'die'?
Anyway - all is back up!!
Thank you all who responded!!
Don C.

Don, from the PC that the IBM i Access printer sessions are on, can you
print to the two network attached printers? Perhaps that PC is unable
to talk to the devices for some reason. Our network guys sometimes make
changes (updates, patches, firewall config) that disrupt otherwise
reliable applications...
Have you tried to reboot this PC?
You never said if you tried to end then restart the writers...

Don,
Is there some special reason that the two devices running on the
JetDirect server must print through the PC? Why not create *lan print
devices so your host can directly manage the printer connection? I
pretty much HATE managing print sessions with Access for i.
Have you tried reboot of the print server, or end and restart your
writer on the IBM i?

Actually - both of the printers running off of the HP Printservers are
NOT working for IBM I printing.

Subject: C/A Printer connection died
I have 3 HP printers with IBM i access via C/A.
Two of them run off of HP Print servers, and the 3rd one is LPT1 cabled.
The C/A printer sessions are on ALL running on the same PC - the one
with the LPT1 connection as well.
These 3 printer sessions have been running flawlessly for more than 3
years, yet today, one of the printers connected via a printserver will
not print. Everything looks 'ready' - just as it always has - but when
a job is released (or sent to) that jobq, it just goes to (or returns
to) a HELD status.
We are able to print PC documents to this printer - so network
connectivity is there .....
