Re: Background job to monitor outq?

[mwalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Do what I did. Shave your head. That way you never have to worry about
getting interrupted when getting a haircut.

Then, determine why the large spooled files are not printing. Then post
your fix. We are having the same problem and I can't, for the life of me,
figure out what's happening.

Thanks,

Mark

First off, don't get your haircut. Just let it grow.

Second, you would be treating the symptom and not the problem. You
either don't have enough memory in your printer or your timeout settings
on the printer need to be set higher. Another problem could be not
enough memory in your *SPOOL shared memory pool on your iSeries. It may
need more memory to do the EBCDIc-ASCII conversion.

Maybe a mullet. Just thinking out loud here.
