Hi Roy,

which kind to printer are you using?
network, usb or the parallel-port?

Franz

Unpredictably (to me, at least) the printer goes into pause mode or hold setting, and I have to either cancel the job or try some other ad hoc action, like turning the printer off and on. I can't be much more specific because I'm not that conversant with printer software.
