Avoiding Split Print Jobs on Banyan Vines and Windows 3.0

ID: Q69386


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a


SUMMARY

When printing complex print jobs to a Banyan Vines network printer from Windows 3.0, the output may be split into multiple jobs if the Banyan SETPRINT spool delay setting is not set correctly.

The spool delay controls how long the network waits for additional print output before timing out and prematurely terminating the print job. Subsequent output would be placed in one or more other jobs. Also, if you are using temporarily downloaded soft fonts, only the text from the first portion of the job would print using the correct fonts.


MORE INFORMATION

You may increase the spool delay by using the Banyan command


   SETPRINT port "address" /D:nn 
where nn is the number of seconds for the spool delay. For example, to increase the delay to 15 seconds, use:

   SETPRINT LPT1 "LASERII" /D:15 
Increase the spool delay until the job prints properly.
