We have a LaserWriter NT that is being used to print Mac-generated files.
In order to do this, we download a copy of LaserPrep before sending any of
the PostScript files.  During testing we discovered that the printer will
hang in a busy state if the LaserPrep file is downloaded more than once.
(CTRL-T always returns a busy state, CTRL-D does nothing, busy light is
blinking on the printer).

We do not see the same behavior from either an NTX or a LaserWriter Plus.
Any ideas?
