The data was transferred to the printer buffer and the only solution was to shut off the printer. If it was a large print job, there was still garbage remaining on the source computer too, and that had to be flushed as well, otherwise it would continue if the printer was restarted. -- HTH, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
