Bob,

Thanks for responding, I appreciate it.

The flow of this particular issue is as follows:

1- I am moving one spool file from a printer to another printer.
2- So I am reading from the spool file and then sending it on its way to the 
other printer.
3- The first thing I do is allocate a working buffer as follows.

FileBuffer = (char *)( GlobalAlloc( GPTR, 16384 ) );

4- Then I read the data into the working buffer and use the following to 
send it off using WritePrinter().

 nErr  =   ::WritePrinter( hPrinter,(LPVOID)FileBuffer, ReadSize, 
&WrittenSize)                    ;

The ReadSize above is obtained from the Reading of the file.

5- Once the file has been transferred I release the working buffer as 
follows.

 GlobalFree( (HGLOBAL) FileBuffer )                       ;

All checking of making sure StartDocPrinter(), etc has been completed when 
the file reading and writing actions start.

Now this seems to work for awhile, that is the transfer of the data works 
for a number of files, and then I get the error indicated

So I am a loss as to why the I would get the error message.

Any assistance you can provide would certainly help me in this.

Thanks

Mike
