Problem

Symptoms: A customer wants to know how a print job leaves WP and travels through a Banyan network to the network printer. Solutions: WP completely processes a print job, and then passes it to the network. The network then sends the print job to the printer.

How/Why:
When you select Print Full Document (Shift-F7, 1), the WP formatter moves from the top of the document to the bottom of the document and sends the printing information to a temporary print file (WPXXX}PJ.#). The document is processed in work space, and then is written to the temporary print file. When WP completes processing the print job and writes the entire document to the temporary file, WP sends the file to the network. As soon as WP passes the print job to the network, WP no longer has control over the print job. Banyan then moves the file, packet by packet, from the workstation to the server. The server then places the file in the appropriate print queue. Print jobs are printed in the order they are received.
