Please help a poor soul:

        - i'm having trouble installing Mac VAPs (v2.0) on our NetWare server.
          the file system okay, but i can't seem to manage to print from a
          Mac on our HP LaserJet III (PostScript). The AppleTalk queues are
          okay, the server and the queues appear in the chooser, and in the
          Netware DA; but each time a print job goes out (*EXCEPT* the first
          few times ..!?!), the same error is generated:

          The print manager returns either,

                -4097  Bad connection reference number
                -4098  Request already active (most frequent)

        - now i've tried everything i could think of, without success. Could it
          be that macs can only print on printers hooked onto LocalTalk ???
          and not onto other PostScript printers (non AppleTalk) ??

        - it did work a couple of times .. coincidence ?

        - For thoses who might have an answer, here is our configuration:

	  	NetWare  : v2.15C (HP i486)
	  	Mac VAPs : v2.0 (AppleTalk Phase 1)
		Printers : HP LaserJet III (PostScript - no AppleTalk intf.))
	  	MacOS    : 6.0.7
	  	Printing : 6.1 (LaserWriter, Print Monitor, Backgrounder)
	  	AppleTalk: 2.0.2

	Please, tell me the truth .. is there any hope ?
