Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Transient WINeCS printing oddity (=learning moment)

Here's are some odd ones.

1-In WINeCS, I try to print to physical printer from Quark. SOMETIMES ONLY
the print job goes to the OS/2 spooler but does not emerge until I close
WINeCS. As soon as I return to the desktop, the print job begins to
emerge from the physical printer.

But sometimes I can print fine from Quark to physical device even though
WINeCS stays loaded.

I thought originally (as I had queried this group) it might be because
a fax/scanner was holding the port. But in fact that remains constant
though the behavior changes from time to time. So the fax/scanner
cannot be the cause of this misbehavior unless through some convoluted
chain of events I can't visualize.

2-Sometimes I try to print from Quark in WINeCS and the print-time screen
advises it is processing page 1 (of many pages). However it always
aborts during page 1.

Closing WINeCS and re-opening does not cure this print-job auto-abort
behavior.

I have to reboot the TP 600X to eCS and load WINeCS. After the reboot
I can get Quark to process all pages instead of aborting while
processing page 1.

So some state is persisting between loads of WINeCS. What could it
be?
