We have a QMS PS800 printer and are using it with TEX on our
VAX-11/780 (VMS). We are using the DVIPS driver from ArborText.
This software came with an enhanced error handling PostScript program
that will make the printer print a page with the error number and
other information.
My question is: Is there anyone out that can make this error handler
 not print the error if is a time-out? The printer seems to get a time-out
 between every job.

Perhaps this can be solved by changing the print queue definition on the
VAX or maybe modifying the DVIPS options file.

Does anybody have an error handler they are really proud of and
would like to post on the network?
