Since upgrading from 4.0 to 5.0, we have one special form spool
file that has caused the output spooler to Stop spooling on the
device where the forms are printed.  The console gets about 1/2
page of diagnostics that I have abbreviated below.
 
 Spooler could not complete output of FILE o###  Native message 9511
 Output spooler Ldev #33: FDEVICECONTROL error  Native message 9547
 Storage management SIO undefined function  FS Error -6001
 Printer storage manager: an error was reported from a lower level #134
 The device is off-line  Low level I/O message 204
 Output spooler LDEV #33: Stoped
 
Physical observation shows that the device is *NOT* off-line.
Further inspection yields that the file in fact did complete
printing without any loss of data.  The immediate remedy is to
STARTSPOOL ## and continue on.
 
The file equate is straight forward:
  FILE RCIR3722;DEV=LP2,08,01;FORMS=SCS CARRIER INVOICES (CICI1IN1).
 
Has anyone else seen this behavior?  The only suggestion provided by
the manual was to make sure the device was functioning properly.
 
Regards,
