Re: TCP Printing problem

[John Hall <jhall@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I deleted the old rmtoutq so I don't think its running !

We are on V4R3.  The printer has 64mb.  Setup as a rmtoutq we can easily
print 500+ page reports on the printer.  Never a problem.  What seems to
be happening now is that the entire report is sent to the printer's
memory and the 400 times out waiting for the printer to report that it
has completed the job.  I was testing this after hours so there where no
other print jobs being sent to the printer.  I loaded ptf SF52827 on but
this did not correct the problem.
