End of print job code for windows

[Dennis Malen]

Ken,

We are able to print the ASCII file to a printer on windows. We are printing 
to a shared printer. This is the first time we have down that. We usually 
print from UNIX to an IP address on the server.

The problem is our vendor's.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dennis
