Printing from DOS apps on Win2000 nework

[zrefugee]

A local police department I do support for uses mostly DOS applications on a Windows 2000 network for most of their work. Way too often, I have to clear all the print jobs from the spool folder on the server so that they can resume printing. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to configure the network print shares to keep this from happening or least not as often. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Making assumption the department using current generation printers would suspect bad data being left behing by DOS print jobs. Suspect DOS print job not correctly resetting printer a close of job which causes a halt until error cleared. Suggest you review docs for printer on sending init and exit commands when sending DOS print job. HP has docs on its site for most of its printers.
