Thank you Les. What was bothering me was that ALL of my LPR links have ITO=0 but they all autostart when there is a file to be printed, and this one was not. The problem was that earlier in the day I did a STOP on that link, and a later START does not put it back in AST (auto-start) mode. Now I found in the manual that running a DEFINE against it with AST will redefine the link as having the autostart property.
