3342.0. "print screen doesn't always work" by MSBCS::KING () Fri Sep 14 1990 09:14

    I manage an MIVC cluster.  On one of the sattelites, a 3100, the user
    is not able to complete a print screen function.  He'll log out and
    back in, do a few print screen to one of the print queues.  He gets the 
    messages that it is starting the job and stopping the job.  The queues
    are working fine.  After 3 or 4 successful print screen functions it
    stops working.  He'll do it but the job never goes out to the queue nor
    is there a message broadcast to the terminal about the job starting.
    
    I had him log out then back in and this seemed to fix it temporarily.
    
    Thanks,

    Does the same thing happen if he captures the screen to a file and 
    prints the file?

3342.2Known bug--fixed in 5.4VMSSG::J_OTTERSONMon Sep 17 1990 09:366
Hi,
  That is a known bug.  Wait for the job to FINISH printing before trying to 
print the screen again.  Or, if that workaround is not good enough for you,
ask your CSC to get you a patch called SESSION$IMAGE01_530.
