The problem was that the printer would detect a fatal internal error, print an error message, and partialy reset itself. The network connection wouldn't be broken but the printer would "forget" that it was processing a job. Since PPR was waiting for the printer to indicate that it had finished the job, it would wait forever. You should use the "ppop log" command to display the job's log file since there might be some indication. The fact that PPR thinks there are 241757 characters after %%EOF definitely a bad sign. It may mean that the DSC comments in the job are misleading. If so, it may help to use ppr's "-H editps" option. PPR may have a Perl script that can fix the job in its editps/ directory. - -- ================================================================ David Chappell David.Chappell@Mail.Trincoll.Edu Computing Center Postmaster@Mail.Trincoll.Edu Trinity College (860) 297-2114 Hartford, Connecticut 06106 U.S.A.
