Hi Dan! This solution works well on Novell Spooler too. This command just close the spooler and release all unfinished print jobs to the printer. I don't know if it can help, but in my FPD and VFP application I have the following code: SET PRINTER TO \\SPOOLER\N\S=SERV_S1\Q=SPOOL1 where S = server name, Q = spooler name and i didn't issue set printer to for releasing the jobs >I'll be honest with you. I have not found a good solution to this problem. >I would be interested in others suggestions. The one that worked the best >for me was to issue a SET PRINTER TO. I do not know why this works but its >the only solution that has worked for me.
