Hi Debra,

This sounds like the application unfortunately doesn't exit once the file is printed. If this application is supposed to produce a file you should try Naomi's suggestion of opening the file exclusively. If you can open the file, it's likely that the application finished printing. However, make sure you wait a moment after running the application and trying to open the file so that the application can actually start printing.

It might be even slower... *g* My Windows Vista/7 machines take forever to print on a printer attached to the Windows 2003 server.
