Eli,

I have a Sparc printer on my Sparc2 running SunOS 4.1.4 with NewsPrint
and every so often when I do a print the box crashes big time.

I can't rmember the exact fault, but it's something like a:

   Panic: Data fault

I have had a look on the SunSolve CD's, but nothing has been an obvious
fix for this.  Do you know which patches I should be installing?

Brian
