I just got my new NeXTprinter and this is what it said when I tried to do the
400dpi horizontal or vertical print from the PrinterTester application:

Aug 21 17:05:17 lewhoosh mach: np0: DMA Underrun; Reprinting Page

The pages came out as pretty much solid, although the test image and other
print jobs came out fine.

I waited an awful long time for this printer considering it's an item that
SHOULD be in stock, so I'm leary of sending the thing back if this is just an
annoyance and not a real problem.

[as a side note, when the printer powers on (I use the np0-off script) the
lights dim and my UPS kicks in... yikes, eh?]
