Hi Netters: I am having a strange problem with cap5.0 running on Sun3/60 (SunOS 4.1.1). We have been using lwsrv and aufs for about 3 years now without any problems. The printer (Apple LaserWriter IIg) is connected serially to Sun. Recently we had to get the ROMs in LW IIg upgraded to the latest revision to clear some problems we had with printing postscript files from Sun directly. (I don't know if it is relevent but here's the problem we had: The printer wouldn't print more than 6 pages of a postscript file created using TeX and dvitps; The green light used to keep flashing and we always had to reboot the printer to have it working again.) This problem was solved once we installed the new revisions of ROMS. (addressing 4MB) But now, after installing those ROMS, lwsrv doesn't work. When I send a file from Mac, the printer gets busy (the green light flashes) and then stops. The log file shows 0 pages printed. I tried to print the temp file (using the -r option with lwsrv to retain the temp file) from Sun and even that doesn't get printed. So, it seems like there's something wrong with the postscript file that gets spooled to Sun. I even recreated the procsets just to see if that makes any difference. That didn't help. If any of you cap gurus know what's wrong, could you please let me know. I need to solve this problem as it is getting to be interestingly annoying :-< Thanks a lot in advance, Venkat Tadepalli
