RPM does not handle multiple files

Problem:

I am printing from a SCO UNIX to RPM Remote Print Manager®. When I attempt to sent multiple files, a few print out, but it eventually hangs on about the 3rd or 4th print job.

Answer:

This problem has been experienced only with SCO UNIX, although if sending print jobs from different systems with enhanced options. You will probably get a couple of messages in RPM that state:

  Error writing data to port 236 (0x2745):[10053] Software caused connection abort.
  Warning : Unrecognized control line -Onobanner.

In most cases, this problem will not occur if sending only one datafile over a connection. To fix the problem, you need to change your printer configuration on your SCO box to not use the option -o when sending to RPM.
