    Command Workstation print issue

    A customer has an intermittently recurring issue with print jobs. When he sends multiple sets of a print job with a lot of pages (100), it shows in cws that there are 10 sets to print, but when it gets finished with 1 set, it stops printing and moves the job into the finished queue. It is a pdf, and is not a large document. File size seems to have nothing to do with the problem, he can print a 10 page file that's 100mb, and do 10 sets of it fine. But this file is only 14 mb, 100 pages, and it will only print 1 set at a time. We tried to "process and hold" at cws and then print, but we got the same results. The next thing I will try is to "print as image" in the print dialogue box. Just wanted to throw this out in case any of you have come across something similar and have any suggestions.

    Is the Fiery fully patched and using the latest drivers and CWS?

    The problem is likely the Fiery itself or the driver/OS. Command Workstation is just a portal to the Fiery. The problem presents itself when the user prints from their computer.

    What is the Fiery and the printer models? I'm with mrwho on the patches and drivers being used.

    I couldn't agree more on having everything patched and up to current specs.

    One trick to try, though. Rather than printing to the Fiery and using CWS to change parameters and/or reprint, use CWS to import the PDF file directly - that way you'll be eliminating the user's PC and print driver from the equation.

    Using CWS 5, (5.0.1.12), Fiery is using EFI Fiery System 9 Version 3.0. I'll have to check Konica to see if these are the most current, not sure if it's ever been patched, (probably not), so i'll probably start there.
    Will also bypass the computer and print driver by importing into CWS directly. This issue is intermittent, and the customer does not repeatedly want to waste 100 prints, so we'll continue testing as the need arises, but I'll for sure get the Fiery up to the latest system software and fully patched.
    It is a bizhub PRO C6501-Fiery Pro 80

    Well, by my logic, if you say he can print it another document with no problems, then it's clearly an issue with the document, not with the machine... Anyway, did you try with "Process and Hold" and then set the number of copies directly in the workstation?
    I don't help end-users. Hate me, give me bad reputation, I don't give a rat's a**. Pay a tehnician to solve your problem! We have to live too! What do you do when something hurts? Do you go to a doctor, or do you search it on google/ forums?

    The problem only exists with PDF files.
