Thanks to all who responded concerning my PostScript printing
problem, but fsck reported nothing.

To recap: After having my v2.1 cube off for a week, I find that 
sending anything to the printer results in the following PostScript 
errors reported from npd:

%%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; Offending Command: run ]%%
%%[ Error: typecheck; Offending Command: machportdevice ]%%

BEFORE the errors appear, the system appears to be normal.
AFTER the errors appear, however, the system is really munged!

- If I click on "CONSOLE" under workspace tools, I
  get the "spinning disk" busy-indicator forever.
- If I double-click on /usr/lib/NextPrinter/comm, I get:
  "Workspace Error 1000: Continue or Logout?"
  (It logs me out any way I answer).
- In a terminal window, if I issue a command that 
  displays lines of text (like "ls" or "ps"), I get
  only a few characters displayed of each line.

One final bit of info: I can boot from my 2.0 Release Optical
and printing is just fine. I've tried replacing things on disk
to no avail. What components are involved in printing?

Please repost to this newsgroup - my email is out as well!
Thanks.
