Summary:

Operating System Error 61

Cause:

1. Too many unprinted reports or Printer Queue Full

2. Where are you directing your spool files (SpoolPath) I was directing my print spool files to my BR folder and I have a lot of OTHER files in there (non-spool files). BR doesn't seem to like this as it assumes that all files in the spoolpath folder ARE spoolfiles, easily exceeding the O/S limit on those files.


Remedy:

1. Error is returned when WBSPL[WSID].## runs out of available entries. Each WSID may have 99 entries (Simultaneous Print Jobs).

Note: When users CTRL-ALT-DELETE or terminate a BR session, it leaves these print jobs behind.

Print or delete the files in the spooling print queue (Operating System allows up to ten files in the queue)

  • Go to the computer which is the printer server (if you are on a single user system, you are already there)
  • Click on Start >Settings >Control Panel >Printers,
  • Right Click on Printer in Question,
  • Click Purge Print Jobs.

You will loose information that has been sent to the printer, but not yet printed. If a program produces this error on a regular basis, it is printing too fast, try putting a Sleep in the print loop.

  • Another solution is to Delete WBSPL*.* from your SpoolPath to clean up the print spooler.


2. Keep your spool files separate. Create a folder for the print spooler files and redirect BR to it in your BRConfig.sys file: SPOOLPATH D:\BR\spoolfiles
