I just upgraded my 4D25TG to IRIX 4.0.5a and now I'm getting printer sync 
errors.  The printer is an Apple LaserWriter IIg connected via serial to
the PI and etherTalk to a Mac Quadra 950. It is also used as a network printer
for a 4D340 running IRIX 4.0.1.  After a file is printed the data receive light
keeps flashing and the mac thinks there is still a job on the printer so it
won't print.  Everything was working fine when the PI was running 3.3.2.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Below is a portion of my /usr/spool/lp/log file:
