Print Server Does Not End Job on "Flush Print Buffer" (172681)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q172681 SYMPTOMS
When you print from an AS/400, a print job may appear to stop responding
and not produce any output. SNA Server DLC message traces indicate that at
the end of the print job the AS/400 is sending:
000A 12A0 0102 0400 0002 ("Flush Print Buffer")
Print Server expects to get
0011 12A0 0101 0A08 0001 0000 0000 0000 00 ("End Print Job")
to end the print job.
CAUSE
SNA Print Server ignores the "Flush Print Buffer" command.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0 and
3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA
Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base

MORE INFORMATION
With the fix applied, Print Server accepts both "Flush Print Buffer" and
"End Print Job" as print ended signals.
