Fellow managers:
The last month I have had some really strange printing issues. I have two
4100's each running 4.0d pk#3 in a cluster running 1.5. Print jobs began
randomly appearing on printers other than one they were submitted to. In
addition, the jobs would sometimes get stuck in a loop and print the same
page until I stopped the job. I thought it might be application specific,
but the problems continued when jobs were submitted from the command line,
independent of the application. Our financial system (a 4100 with 4.0f)
also experiences the same issues. It appears if multiple jobs are spooling
at the same time, the queue becomes confused and the above problems occur.
Has anyone else seen these problems? Any pointers or sharing of
experience(s) would be appreciated. I have attached the /etc/printcap file
from one of the 4100's in my cluster.
Thanks,
