	I have been working on STARLAN networks for about the past 2 years.
  The same problem is exhibited there too.  The solution that i have found
  buried deep in the manuals is:

	Ctrl-Alt-PrtScrn

  (Note: the program on the PC must think that it is DONE printing).
  This will release the print spooling job.  MS Word is the only application
  (other than direct copies to the lpt port from DOS) that does not need this
  key sequence.  I personally find it minorly annoying, but livable.

	Any people at AT&T and or MS that can enlighten me/us as to why we
  need to do this?
