$BACKUP_SOFTWARE has been giving me far too much grief at work. You'd think I'd read a book at home or something. Maybe even unpack. Instead, I'm installing MVS.

You don't say... do you not understand the meaning of the $P command? I gorram want my printers drained. Be good or I'll replace you with JES3.

Okay, here's the problem. Stopping any device should drain it and reply with $HASP097. Yet JES2 stares at me with a glazed look in its eyes that says "hold my head to your ear, you will hear the sea."

Nope. After some flailing around and consulting the manuals, I decided to try reverse psychology:

0000 05.49.09           $S PRT2
0200 05.49.09           $HASP160 PRINTER2 INACTIVE - CLASS=Z

Yeah. In this parallel world, starting a printer drains it.

And that's all she wrote. I'm hoping fixing this is in the sysgen checklist somewhere, or it's a weird emulator artifact thingy.
