Question Random duplicated print jobs
I have a weird problem, about 6 times a day a print job will be printed twice (out of more than 100 print jobs per day).
It seems as though sometimes a print job is not cleared from the print spooler after the first print, and then reprints.
This started a week ago after I had made printer changes to scoadmin.
I'm using Sco Version 5. I'm lost as to know where to start looking for the cause. Any help or suggestions please
