Problems with LAT printers...

[Don Rainwater]

	We're having some trouble with LAT printers under Ultrix 4.1.
The jobs seem to print out okay, but then Ultrix doesn't let go of the
port (SHOW SESSIONS PORT 1 on the DECserver says that the port is still
connected to the Ultrix system).  The next time a job is submitted to
that printer queue, Ultrix thinks that the port is busy and marks the
queue as stalled.  I can logout the DECserver port, and Ultrix will
print again until the queue is empty.  Then it's locked up again.

	Most of our printers are shared by multiple systems, and all of
the rest of them are VMS systems.  The VMS systems have no trouble with
the port.

	The DECserver in question is a DS100, running version 2.0 of the
DS100 software.

	Has anyone else experienced this?  Better yet, does anyone know
how to fix it?  I'm almost tempted to set all the queues up to use lpr
to one of the VMS nodes!! :-)
