Periodically the daemon gets "hung" and the jobs just sit in the queue. The first job in the queue is flagged as "active". The status is of the printer is "ready and printing" and the daemon is still present. The only fix seems to be to "abort" and "start" the daemon. The "restart" command doesn't do it. This never seems to happen with the line printer but happens far too often with the LaserWriters. I was hoping going to Release 4.0 would fix things, but it hasn't. Can anyone offer any insight into this problem? Chris Reynolds uucp: ... !gatech!hubcap!quirk CS Dept, Clemson University domain: quirk@hubcap.clemson.edu phone: (803)656-{2639,3444}
