For production print, we use a windows based program that merges data to forms and then forms several large PCL files.
The program then sends the files to the printer (via samba print server using lprng) using the dos command copy /b lpt2 <filename> Now, if the printer gets a jam or something, it picks up where it left off when the error is cleared. The problem, say a major error comes across the printer and a power off is required, print is restarted at the beginning of that current batch. Is there anyway to have lprng keep some sort of pointer on where it left off even if the printer drops its connection? Or is it really a moot point since the printer buffer would be cleared and lprng would not be able to guess what was in there anyway and there would be data lost?
