Request Definite Response Doesn't Signal When Job Sent to Printer (172471)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1

This article was previously published under Q172471

SYMPTOMS

If the Monitor Job, Request Definite Response option is selected in a printer session's property page, the definite response message is sent to the host when the print job has handed it to the Windows NT spooler. This is not the expected behavior. Instead, the definite response message should be sent when Windows NT has been notified by the physical printer that the job has completed.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack.
