We are running NCR MP-RAS SVR4 and its giving me a strange problem. The print scheduler seems to 'choke' if you send more than two jobs at once. The strange thing is that this seems to be a progressive problem (where as it used to choke on 5 jobs, then 4, then 3). I am thouroughly confused so any help at all would be appreciated.<br><br>Patrick Alley<br>Computer System Specialist<br>St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office

Can't say I have seen this before though I have had problems with prints going missing on printers when too many where sent at once.<br>If you are listing from a script then try putting a sleep command between each lp command.<br>ie.<br><br>lp -dPRINTER printfile1<br>sleep 10<br>lp -dPRINTER printfile2<br>sleep 10 <br>eic..... <p>Ged Jones<br><a href=mailto:gedejones@hotmail.com>gedejones@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
Palley,<br><br>How are your printers physically connected to the unix machine? Could it be that, because of some problem with that connection, lpd (the print spooler) is thinking that a printer is down?<br><br> <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href= Cargill's Corporate Web Site</a><br>
