I should mention also, that it is not a pause problem, it is an abort 
problem.  After the print job sits there like a dead thing for a few 
minutes, it throws up a message on the screen that the rint job was 
aborted and that I might need to find out why. . .Well, that is what I 
am trying to do. . . find out why. . .

Thanks
