[SunHELP] Curious printing problem

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

Hi ,
	I have been having this problem for several months now
	and have run out of ideas.
	Have any of you seen anything like this before ??
	I am running reports on an Oracle databasae server and 
	sending the output to a printer hosted on an Oracle client.
	many of the prints never arrive at the printer and when I check
	the spool directory on the client I see something like this

-rw-------   1 root     other          0 Feb 10 09:30 1205-0
-rw-------   1 root     other          3 Feb 10 09:30 1205-2
-rw-------   1 root     other          0 Feb 10 09:40 1250-0
-rw-------   1 root     other     131011 Feb 10 09:40 1250-2
	
	When I check the /var/lp/logs/requests file I notice that the
	Successful prints all have numbers in the range , say , 200-300,
	and all the failed prints have numbers in the range 1200-1300.
	How can there be 2 ranges for 1 sender ??
	I have moved the printers to another client and the problem follows
	them.
	I would be grateful for any contributions.
