I am not sure but I believe I sent this info but have not heard anything
back.
===============================================================
You asked in response to my question (see bottom of email);
This is usually the case with a filter process that does not exit.
There are several possibilities:
a) The filter is waiting for status back that it never gets,
and does not have a 'smart timeout' that will tell it to
give up.
b) The filter has done a 'close' on a socket but the socket does
not close. This is rare, but happens when you have set 'sock_linger'
to a long value OR the very bad 'wait forever' value.
c) You have a hardware device that has a low level device driver that does
not finish the close until it flushes its buffers.
>>What is the actual device?
The device is an AXIS 540 IP to parallel print server. This particular
model is a single. The 560 is a multiple port and gave us our first problem
yesterday. More information on the printservers may be obtained from
www.axis.com
>>What is your printcap?
This is the entry for a multiport Axis 560

This is the entry for a Single Axis 540;

>>What filter are you using?
We are not using any filter.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated?
