The problem we're having is when the data over flows the print buffer. We can clear everything in the print buffer unless the buffer has over flowed and the windows buffer holds the remaining data in the queue. When we try to clear the buffer it just gets added to the queue. We have tried the FlushFileBuffers but it does not seem to have an effect. Do you have any other suggestions.


Thanks again for the help. :-)
