There are some serial-port bugs still open for SRCS 2.1 and for SRSS but I don't see any that match this description. Your best bet for getting this diagnosed and fixed is to open a support call with Sun. Which serial port are you using? One of the built-in serial ports, or a USB-to-serial adapter? If you happen to be using a built-in port on a Sun Ray 170 then make sure you're using the port that understands RTS/CTS flow-control signalling, in case the printer depends on those to prevent data loss through overflow. That's Port B. Port A on the 170 does not understand RTS/CTS. OttoM. __ ottomeister Disclaimer: These are my opinions.
