A user is having problems with a NeXT computer printing a document. I'm
new to next machines and next system administration, so I thought maybe
someone out there could point the finger at something. Basically when a
large document is printed, sometimes only the first page prints, other
times the whole things prints. This doesn't happen when same document is
printed on another next computer, and also rebooting the computer causes
the problem to go away until the printer is used several times. (Sorry
for being so vague). Here is what I fould in the /usr/adm/lpd-errs file.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
