- Howard:

- If you have a print queue in the paused state, it means that the queue received
- a ^S from the printer (assuming that you use XON/XOFF) and hasn't received the
- corresponding ^Q. The possibilities are:
-
- 1. Your printer is toast
- 2. Your terminal server is toast
- 3. Something else ;-()
-
- I have usually found, in these cases, that it is the terminal server. Try
- another port on the same server or a different server.
