    One more customer experiencing the same problem. 
    
    VMS 6.2-H2, and DCPS 1.3 but this time it is a cluster.
    
    The queues seems to work OK and suddenly one jobs stays in starting
    status. The LPS console gets a connect message and then the message 
    0 blocks transferred, these messages goes on for ever until they
    do STOP/ID on the symbiont holding the queue. This seems to work
    under DCPS 1.3 but not on DCPS 1.2 where you have to reboot both the
    LPS and the hanging node at the same time.
    
    Any hints is appreciated.

    I had thought that we had dealt with this or a problem with a similar
    symptom in V5.1. I believe it was related to either a network
    glitch (the virtual circuit between the printer and the print
    client being created and then disconnected prior to any
    real work being performed) or relating to a job being aborted in its
    infancy. At the moment I would be more inclined towards prospect
    1 which you indicate some transient network anomaly.

    They both have v 5.1 so if their were any fixes their they
    already have them. This happens all the time with different
    printers and hosts.
    
    Any hints?
