I checked the archives on this problem and found nothing on it.
Thanks to Cory Black for responding that they have a similar
problem. He gets around the problem (sort of) by running a
job every morning that does a STOPSPOOL and then
STARTSPOOL. Anyone else run into this? One of the
printers is serial on an Axis print server and the other is
parallel on a Jetdirect print server.
