Conference iosg::all-in-1

    Yes I have a [tables] directory which has the following files:
    
    $ dir [.tables]
    
    Directory OFFICE$DISK:[NIEVES.A1.TABLES]
    
    NHPLJIII.PRA;1      YO.PRA;1
    
    Total of 2 files.
    
    As you can see there is no PS.PRA. 
    
    I tried to print using another PRA, like DEClaser and the result is the
    same, this is the example:

    I'm sure that I have something different from another user, because I
    created a new user called TEST and from this account I can print
    without problem.

    Does this happen with all WPS-PLUS files, or is it just happening with
    one test document? If it's just one document then I suggest the
    document has either become corrupt or has something "unusual" in it.

    It happens with every document I try.

Try printing an ASCII document which will be ASCII formatted.  This may 
help to show if OA$FORMATTER is unable to perform any formatting or only 
WPS-PLUS formatting.

    Hi,
    
    I have the clue just now!
    
    I did what you told me, convert a document to ASCII WPS, and printed
    it. This was the error in the OA$FORMATTER
    
    Server queue OA$FORMATTER, idle, on CHUECA::, mounted form DEFAULT

    The ACP error gave me the clue about diskquota. 
    I had exceeded my quota, but I have the exquota priv, so I never
    thought this could be the cause. I disabled diskquota in this volume and I
    tried printing with no error.
    
    Now, what is the explanation, if I have EXQUOTA priv (in my VMS account
    and ALL-IN-1 account) why is this not working.
    
    Regards,
    
    Nieves

    
    Regarding privs:
    
    The clue was that you could print OK in foreground. Foreground
    formatting obeys the user's VMS privs, while background printing does
    not. I think background formatting obeys the Manager's default privs.
    
    Russell.

An OA$FORMATTER symbiont process runs with the following VMS privileges 
under the SYSTEM UIC:

    PRIVILEGE_MASK : block [8, byte]    ! Priviliges required by this symbiont
        preset ([PRV$V_BYPASS] = 1,     ! - read & write access to user's files
                [PRV$V_CMKRNL] = 1,     ! - submit print job with same Username
                [PRV$V_OPER] = 1,       ! - broadcast message to user's terminal
                [PRV$V_TMPMBX] = 1,     ! - perform logical name operations
                [PRV$V_WORLD] = 1),     ! - broadcast message to specific user


The job controller does do a partial impersonation of the user who
submitted the job which causes any files to be created to be owned by you,
but it does not do a full impersonation which would include getting the
user's default VMS privileges. 

Therefore when your job was processed the EXQUOTA privilege was not 
enabled.
