A local police department I do support for uses mostly DOS
applications on a Windows 2000 network for most of their work. Way too
often, I have to clear all the print jobs from the spool folder on the
server so that they can resume printing. I was wondering if anyone had any
idea how to configure the network print shares to keep this from happening
or least not as often. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hank:

Have you set a "net use" to allow their Windows printers to use LPT
ports for the DOS programs?

Example: net use LPT1 \\computername\printersharename

This should get the jobs printed.

Aloha,
Miles
