The behavior Tracy is describing is NOT limited to Fantasia forms files.
Yesterday:
We are seeing 'reply requests' on the console for simple offline listings from Editor
- I issue a file equation:   FILE EDTLIST;DEV=2839
- I start EDITOR, text in a file and issue LIST 1/30, offline
- a reply appears on the console and nothing prints until the replay is answered

Overnight we adjusted the 'sleep' settings on the printer (trying to get sleep turned off).

This morning:
The printer is working 'as expected' (i.e. no replies being requested)  I'm not saying that changing the 'sleep' settings on the printer caused the changed behavior, but it is the only think I know of that changed.
I don't understand what the sleep settings on the printer would have to do with a reply being required.  (but I also don't know the deep dark interworkings of the spooler either)

1) has anyone witnessed similar behavior?
2) exactly what causes the 'reply' requests?

Subject: [HP3000-L] Fantasia - Form File Replies

We're getting the oddball console reply for a spool file on an LDEV for Fantasia forms files.

I've looked at NPCONFIG, SYSGEN>IO, and LARC's LINEPARM and FSPCONF and for the LDEV and see nothing out of the ordinary.

Unless there is something in the Environment file were using.
