1.2 DCPS Version 2.3 Fixes
The following problems are fixed in DCPS V2.3.
1.2.1 Raw TCP Jobs Put on Hold and Queues Stopped
Starting with DCPS V1.8, some jobs printed with the Raw TCP protocol would
be put on hold and their queues stopped. This behavior was often seen when a
printer became unresponsive for some reason, particularly with the DIGITAL
Laser Printer LN20 and LN40, and the Compaq or DIGITAL Laser Printer
LNC02 printers. Usually there was no indication that the job was put on hold
or that the queue was stopped, but sometimes a message like the following was
seen:
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 25-MAR-2003 12:03:22.09 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user SYSTEM on FUNYET
Queue LN20: %DCPS-F-BADPARAM, bad parameter value
The problem was seen when a pending job would start to print and the printer
was not ready to accept the job. DCPS V2.3 fixes this problem, as well as allowing
jobs in queues for printers not currently available to wait and start printing when
the printer becomes available.
