Subject: Re: PPR: Timeouts

On a (possibly) related note, users are complaining that they try to print from
MSOffice2000 apps, and while the document never comes out the banner page does.

When I do a ppop log job_name this is what I see:
$ ppop log p-hlpctr-2737
Job "p-hlpctr-2737" does not exist.

The banner page indicates two consistencies:
The job is processed by the PPR dotmatrix printer emulator (though jobs that do
come through report this as well).
All jobs are reported as being one page long (when a document is successfiully
printed, of course, this number is >1).

A user may sometimes move to another workstation and things will work.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
