Any suggestions what causing these traces to show here when I use PDFX? I cant remember turning anything on here in the past x months and keep ignoring the issues, but I thought I better work it out in case a customer does decide to use PDFX and has the same thing.

AIX 1175.0 & ATE/ASHW32 1176.7

Thanks.

Those are the standard LP traces, which you'll get if you SET TRACE LP ON (which you didn't), or if you check the LP checkbox in the Debug Message Window properties (which you did), or if you check the Debug checkbox in the Printer panel of the Connection Properties dialog (which I can't tell whether you did).

I'm guessing that all your other printing is going direct from the server to the printer, rather than through ATE (DEVICE=AUXLOC: ), leading you to conclude that the traces are associated specifically with PDFX, rather than just with the fact that you have the LP trace option turned on locally to ATE (in the Debug message window).

Ah! There it is hiding as the Debug Check Box in Settings! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
