If someone else on the network is already using the printer you 
will see the message "Not Listening" after 30 seconds. If this 
happens, wait and try again or save your work and print it out 
when the printer is free.

When you have finished printing

press:

[CTRL]C

or type:

VDU 3[RETURN]

to print the last few lines of your text and the footer text.

While you are linked to the printer no one else can use it. If you 
press  [CTRL]B  and  then  don't  print  anything  for  30  seconds,  or 
there is a gap of 30 seconds or more in your printing, someone else 
can  take  control  of  the  printer  by  pressing  [CTRL]B  at  their 
station.

If you then try to print, you will see the "Not 
Listening" message.

If no one else presses [CTRL]B, you can carry on printing 
as normal.
