Another job might have grabbed the device and opened it before the spooler could. See if there is a job attached to the device :showdev 6 and if there is abort it abortjob #------- ------------- Original Text From "Shirley A MacLaughlin" <[log in to unmask]>, on 3/20/98 2:43 PM: On a HP3000 937 I have a class LP for Ldev 6, but I really have no printer - I've been getting along fine, with the outfence at 14 and checking the spool files as needed.(except it sure would be nice to print). Until today, when inadvertantly, someone did a SPOOLER LP;STOP. Now I can open the Q alright, but when I SPOOLER 6;START (or SPOOLER LP;START) - I get the error "Device 0000006 unavailable (CIWARN 4604)" Jobs just sit there in wait state, oh my.
