I have switched from Novell to NT40(sp6a) with no problems in operation except that my receipt printer waits approx. 20 secs before it starts to print a transaction receipt. I have tried various drivers, spooler configs and other, similar receipt printers with no change. Has anyone had a similar problem that could help me?

It may be due to AREV (foreground task) not allowing
sufficient timeslices to the printer spooler (background
task).
It may aslo be due to file writes (including the
writes to the logical file PRN) being cached by Windows.
After you PRINTER OFF statement, try the following code
FLUSH
PERFORM "SUSPEND EXIT NUL"
This technique has been used successfully at several sites.
