Let me explain. PPR does not have to facilities to stop printing of a job and resume it at a later date at the page where printing left off. With well formulated jobs and printers supporting PJL this is theoretically possible, however I haven't implemented it. This is probably worth doing in the near future. However, if printing doesn't complete for any reason, PPR will restart the job from the top. That means that if you reboot the server while a job is being printed, it will restart from page one as soon as the server comes up again. ================================================================ David Chappell David.Chappell@Mail.Trincoll.Edu Computing Center PostMaster@Mail.Trincoll.Edu Trinity College (860) 297-2114 Hartford, Connecticut 06106
