Is the address on YOUR end already in use?
LPR/LPD protocol has (or used to) a requirement that the clients connected from a limitted range of ports (including the same port as used for target). So if you already have an LPR/LPD server on your end or if you have used up all of the "client" ports on your end then this could happen. -- R; <>< On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 7:57 AM, Shimon Lebowitz <shim...@iname.com> wrote: > Hi, > I occasionally get large backlogs of files being sent via RSCS > to a network printer, particularly an LPD which processes the > listings and creates PDF files for the end users. > > In the RSCS console I see these messages: > DMTLPR193I LINK PDF01LOA CONNECTING TO HOST 10.240.1.128 PORT 515 PRINTER > PDF01LOA > DMTLPR190I SOCKET ERROR ON LINK PDF01LOA (ADDRESS ALREADY IN USE) -- RETRYING > > I do not understand what the problem is.
