I think there is some system parameter that can be set to
get a file with the boot output. I usualy connect a terminal
emulator (PuTTY or whatever) to the serial console port
and log everything to a file. That way one get the full
startup including power-on self-test and everything.

There are a couple that VMS runs, but in most cases it's
enough to look at systartup_vms.com and any files called
from that one.

Right. *That* solved the problem with the stopped *batch* queue !

I'm sure that you have some *other* queue that is setup
against the actual printer. You have to check the system.

What LAT-port is the printer using?
What queue is setup aganst that LAT-port?
Is the queue running?

And so on...

*OR*, get some help !
