>>Try the printer Property sheet; Scheduling tab, select Print directly to printer rather than Spool print documents. I assume that you have the winprint print processor selected with the RAW default datatype set, and the Always spool raw datatype checkbox not checked in the Print Processor page (General/Print Processor button.)

A trick from my old FPDOS libraries - the following forced things to be released immediately when you couldn't bypass a print queue directly for Novell. It might help here:

* print some stuff
SET PRINTER TO NUL:
EJECT
* if you don't want to actually reset the page memory variables, you could
* ?? ""; it's important that something be forced to the port so that the
* port is opened by FPDOS and the other port is closed
SET PRINTER TO

Forcing the change of port to actually occur got Novell to stop a capture session and release the print job; it's worth a try
