We have an Apple LW NT hooked up to our Unix machine, that prints out a 
single page after *every job* with a timeout error message.  This is 
annoying as heck and wastes paper.

So, I had the brilliant idea to set the timeout values to 0.  All three
of them.  Now, we don't get the extra page at the end, but the printer
goes into a certain state where you have to send a control-D or
power cycle the machine before it will print anymore jobs.  Also, if you
set things like /manualfeed on, you have to turn off/on the printer or
set it back to default.

We have number of other Apple LaserWriters (NTX, and LW+) that are connected 
to the same unix server, and do not have any problems.  I believe that
they echo back the timeout error to the server, not print them out on
a paper.  Is this done by the error handler?  I know that someone
downloaded an error handler routine to this particular printer for that
purpose (to print it out, and not echo back to the server), but I'd have 
thought that default error handler will be restored once the printer is 
powercycled.

I'm just fishing for answers here.  I wonder if this rings any bells
with anyone?  I'd like to reset the timeouts to the default value,
and NOT have the printer print out this extra page of error message.

If I need to download another error handler, does anyone have a reasonable
(and commented, if possible :-) ehandler.ps?

I don't know much about postscript programming or postscript printers, so
any thoughts, comments, hints, would be greatly appreciated.  This problem 
has been driving several people up the wall.
