Since TIU prints in the background I would suggest using some simple test of background printing to troubleshoot. You say it works from FileMan. Does it work when queued from FileMan?

Subject: [Hardhats-members] Printer IO problems
Well, as per my other post, I thought I had the printers working. In fact they do work when I print reports from fileman. But they are not working with the TIU package properly, specifically the option: TIUP PRINT PROGRESS NOTES, which is an action entry that goes to MAIN^TIUPRD()
When I trace through this, I find that I am hanging at the line: U IO
When VistA gets to this point, it hangs indefinately (until I stop the job with MUPIP stop xxxx)
By inserting a line to write out IO first, I find that IO="/tmp/PringJobFile1234.dat" -- I.e. the file that will eventually be sent to the linux print system after being filled with data.
So this must be a problem with the way my DEVICE file entry is set up... specifically the way I am setting up IO.
Again as a review, in the PRE-OPEN EXECUTE field (.19.7) in the DEVICE file, I call a funtion that changes the value of IO to the filename I want. I thought that perhaps I needed to OPEN IO, so I added that, with no improvement.
So, what would cause M to hang on a USE IO statement?
Thanks Kevin
