delay between TCP/IP telnetsym print jobs?

» close window

The Question is:

 
We have a queue setup using ucx$telnetsym that prints to an HP/w JetDirect.
If we send multiple print jobs, the first job prints, then each remaining
job stalls for a period of time before printing. I have checked the
documentation and tried setting the t
elnetsym retry and timeout parameters but jobs still stall before printing.
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  This behaviour is most commonly seen when the telnet symbiont closes
  the connection after the first print job, and then immedeately reopens
  the connection for the next.  If you are using a fast machine, then
  the remote site may not be quite ready to accept a new connection,
  and this causes the connection to be rejected and the telnet symbiont
  will then back off and wait a couple of minutes before retrying.
 
  Consider using the UCX$TELNETSYM_IDLE_TIMEOUT logical name -- this
  logical name can be used to inform the symbiont to keep the current
  connection open between jobs.
