We are users of Oracle Financials 9 which is built on Oracle Tools and are facing a similar problem when our 500 page reports jam on page 490. The solution I am looking at, at the moment, is a third party print spooler which replaces the native unix lp system.
Currently I am evaluating a demo of EzSpooler which seem to have the features we want. I am also waiting for a demo of LP Plus (another unix print spooler) to arrive. Incidentally the distributor for both is CCNS in Singapore so they are just a local phone call away.
Tell Eddy I sent you. Cheers!
