I am testing 32 machines with the same Aspect script via 32 Procomm telnet sessions which includes printing a small screen capture of output from each machine (one page in length) at the end of the process. Each script is started about 15 seconds apart. Unfortunately although I see all the screen captures in the script are successful only about 50% are actually printing out. I am guessing there is a bottle neck in Procomm which is dropping some of the print jobs (files?) because Windows and the laser printer have plenty of memory to que the small files.

Capture files failing to print in multi telnet session Procomm script
- Thread starter amvmr

Are you running multiple telnet sessions on the same machine? If so, grab the updated telnet file from the below link, rename your existing PTWELNET.DLC file in the Programs directory below your Procomm install, and copy this one in its place:

The first time the print capture icon is selected, Procomm will start queueing the data. The second time the icon is selected, the capture is finished and the captured data is sent to the printer specified in Procomm.

So what is your opinion if 2-3 of the terminal windows are capturing at the same time do you think it is likely some of the data will be lost? Any idea where the data is stored and how it is transmitted to the printer? I don't see distinct files or print jobs entering the printer que?
Are you running version 4.8 or an earlier version? You can check via the Help | About menu item.
I think that the print capture files would likely appear in your temp directory for a brief period of time. As far as I know, they should appear in the printer queue in Windows as long as the print capture completed successfully on the local end, but I have not tested that.
