Can you move the spooled file to another queue? If you can, OS/400has no lock on the document, and you should be able to print it onanother printer. If you can't move it, it means that thewriter/spool subsystem still thinks the document is actively printing.

Sometimes you can force an error condition on the printer and/orcontroller to force the writer to end.

Have you tried ending the spooling subsystem (*IMMED)? Of course, ifthis doesn't work, only an IPL will cure it. *sigh*
