4GL and writing reports to a report

Hi Informix professionals: Under SCO, I'm writing to a pipe such as: START REPORT TO PIPE lp_command where lp_command equals something like rcmd <node_name> lp <comand flags> <printer_name> So far, nothing out of the oridinary. My customer reports that performance suffers when a certain report is executed. The fix is to cycle the power on the printer pointed to by <printer_name> and performance returns to normal. Now, I've heard of the unix print que getting so messed up that rebooting the operating system is necessary, but never just cycling a printer. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen such a phenomena. Any insight would be appreciated. regards, Ed Schaefer
