PSERVER.NLM - Jobs, Banners etc.

Hello,

Is there a site where I can get deeper technical information about
PSERVER.NLMs concepts and internals ?

I need to know about the way it services Print Queues, the way it
generates the Banners, the relation between the Banner and the
data to be printed, how is the (Re-Initialize) sequence executed
and when can the next Print Job be serviced.

The answers I'm looking for are supposed to solve a problem we
have on one of our 3.11 Servers. We use PSERVER.NLM Ver 1.27 and we
get some strange reactions when printing to a queue serviced by a
HP LaserJet IIISI with Banner and Mode=(Re-Initialize). What I've
learned until now is that:
1. both the Banner and the data are interpreted like separate Print
   Jobs (which doesn't make sense)
2. the next Job's Banner breaks into the previous job's Re-Initialize
   sequence.

Now I've found out that LOAD PSERVER pserv_name has two new optional
parameters: POLL=xx and DELAY=x. What do they mean ?

Thanks in advance for any information,

Victor Sternberg

I saw an alternative to PSERVER on simtel (FPSERV32.ZIP), which may be
interesting, I haven't tried it out.  The author may also be able to help you.
This is from the documentation:
