-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, version 4.0 SP3 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you stop and restart an APPC printer session, the printer session may
remain in a Pending status.

CAUSE
=====

The SNA Server Print server does not issue a TP_ENDED when the session is
stopped. Therefore, the AS/400 writer is still active.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0
SP3.


MORE INFORMATION
================

A TP_ENDED is issued when the print session is closed, as in the following
trace:
