Print Session Status Remains "Spooling" (164966)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q164966 SYMPTOMS
When you print 3270 print jobs through the SNA Server 3.0 Print Service,
the first job will print successfully, but all other jobs for that printer
LU will stop responding, and the status of the printer will display
"Spooling" indefinitely.
CAUSE
The host sends an initial BID request to open a bracket for the first
document to print. The Host Print Service sends a +RSP, and the job is
correctly printed. If there is a second print job queued on the host when
the first job ends, SNA Server immediately receives a new BID request
from the host. But the Host Print Service never sends any response, so the
job stops responding.
RESOLUTION
A fix is available to correct this problem.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on
