These are TCP/IP error codes. If you look in the Communications Server IP Sockets API Guide and Reference under return codes a deciaml 32 is EPIPE which I think means the printer closed the connection. Is there any diagnostic mode on the printer which might give more info? Is this PDF being translated from EBCDIC to ASCII, and if so does it have any imbeded hex that might not survive translation? If it is already in ASCII, are you inadvertantly translating it when you send it?
