Hi Randall, Thanks for the clarifications, I moved the spool file for this user which seemed to have solved the problem.

Normally a text string explaining the error is also included, using strerror(). The fact that the string is empty in your case is probably explained by it being a very old system. The error codes are also contained in /usr/include/errno.h. At any rate, error 28 is "No space left on device". How big is the user's spool file, and how much free space is there? -- Randall Gellens Opinions are personal; facts are suspect; I speak for myself only -------------- Randomly-selected tag: --------------- Mythology, n.: The body of a primitive people's beliefs concerning its origin, early history, heroes, deities and so forth, as distinguished from the true accounts which it invents later. --Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" -- No virus found in this incoming message.
