Hans,
If I understand you correctly, Unispool is doing the network printing from the
3000 to the JD and printer. If so, this initialization is comming from Unispool
and not the MPE spooler. The TT files would only influence serial printers
being spooled by MPE. Contact Holland House to see how to turn this init
sequence off.
