OK

I struggled with this one because in the scenario the printer is not capable of
spooling. I think this case simply indicates that an error occurred while there
was still data to be sent to this printer and once the problem was fixed,
printing
resumed and more print data was sent. The cases we discussed where
there was language like this were all chunking cases.This is not a chunking
case but rather a non-spooling printer case. I think I should leave it as it
stands.
