7.1.3 TCP/IP Jobs Terminate with BADPARAMS Error
Under certain conditions, jobs printed over TCP/IP would terminate, the queue
would stop and a message similar to the following would be sent to OPCOM:
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 25-FEB-1998 17:09:53.38 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user SYSTEM on HUMANE
Queue LN32_LAB: %DCPS-F-BADPARAM, bad parameter value
Changes to eliminate this problem under some conditions were made in DCPS
V1.6-1. Additional changes have been made in DCPS V1.7 to eliminate this
problem when DCPS is establishing a network connection to a printer.
