Rp5470 running 11.i . . .LP spooler stalls out for no apparant reason. This happens 2 to 3 times a week. Once I restart it, all is fine. Any ideas?

lpshut
lpsched -v

This should give something in the lp log file.

Are you using jet direct print servers?
Several years back, trying to save money on print servers it was suggested to use the built in printer server that was availble on every terminals. I had set them up as Remote printers. Once I got more then 80, the spooler begin to flake. With ever printer added it got worse and worse until the spooler crashed once a week. I installed "jet direct" print servers and that fixed the problem.
