   I would not say it is a problem, it is a feature. Novell, as well as
   other PC network programs, cannot tell when print job is complete if
   nobody tells it. So either user must tell or program must tell it.
   User does it by pressing CTRL-ALT-PRINTSCREEN, program tells it by
   closing the printer. (I'm not sure, but I think it's SET PRINTER TO
   in clipper).

   I don't like using timeout in print spooler, it might cut your print
   job in pieces if producing output takes long time.
