Problem solved! Thanks to both Jason Issac and Bill Hassell, who both
deftly pointed to the "True End of Job" setting in the print models.
The print spooler is waiting for positive confirmation from the printer
that the job was successfully printed. There is a variable in the
print model "TEOJ" that you can set to turn that off. The models are
in "/etc/lp/interface/model.orig". There are two ways to fix the
problem.
1) Look for a line that says 'TEOJ="yes" ' and change it to ' TEOJ="" '
or ' TEOJ="no" '.
2) Modify all your print queues to disable True-EOJ, using the
following command:
modifyqueue -t off -q prnter18, where prnter18 is the queue name.
Thanks again!
