Back to old problems: printers not draining.


 

Hi
?
I run a version of TK4- (I know: I should move on to TK5).? This happens on a Mac, Mac OS Sequoia and Intel machine.

I start TK4- and run a couple of simple things (these days I am fooling around with COBOL).

Now.
?
First of all I do not seem to be able to get anything "printed" on the files `prt/prt???.txt`.? From QUEUE or OUTLIST, I try to "release" the output but nothing happens.

Next, I issue `shutdown` an the system hangs after `$HASP395 BSPPILOT ENDED` because `PRINTER1` and `PRINTER2` are draining.? To move on I have to issue
`/$e prt1`
`/$e prt2`
`/$c prt1`
`/$c prt2`
?
After that the system moves on and terminates (although sometimes it crashes).? Note the
```
HHC01250E 0:000E Printer: error in function write(): Operation timed out
HHC00007I Previous message from function 'write_buffer' at printer.c(264)
```
error messages (this is obviously from Hercules).

I am attaching the logs of a typical interaction.
?
All the best
