Re: Help - Weird error with TCP printing & HPT

[email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (James W Kilgore)]

We had a similar problem with "large" spool files.  The typical reports
are <50 pages, after that, the windoze spool manager would not provide
feedback to the AS/400 and the 400 would think that the connection was
lost.

Upon reflection we thought: "Why have two machines provide spooling,
when the 400 does it best?"

So we set the client machines to disable print manager and have direct
to printer output.  Not a "magic bullet", just a shop standard. It
works.
