I had been converting the driver program used for Lexmark printers from HPPJLDRV to IBMSNMPDRV. Seemed a lot better and a lot more tolerant of printer issues.
Until a few days ago with one printer.
The writer for this printer just ends abnormally. When it does, all the spool files in the queue get put on HOLD status.
I was told to change the driver back to PJL.
Questions:
Anybody have any idea why this one writer/printer combination is unstable?
Thoughts about why the joblog has nothing useful in it? Time I see this happening, the job has already ended. If I had had time, I would have changed the message logging level.
Any idea why spool files get forced to HOLD, and how to stop that?
We are marooned at v5r4, woefully behind on PTFs (sa can't be "bothered").
I have limited access to IBM. Any PTFs that might address this issue?
