Has anyone come across problems printing with Interleaf 4.0 under SunOS
4.0.  We had 2 major problems, now down to one.

 1.  Interleaf displays  file sent to the printer but nothing ever came out.
     After calls to Interleaf and Sun, we replaced the SunOS 4.0 version of lpd
     with SunOS 3.4 version (supplied with Interleaf curiously enough).
     This fixed this problem, but the 2nd problem remains.

 2.  usr/ucb/lpr Out of Memory - happens randomly to all users including the 
      workstation that the interleaf printer is attached to.
      We were informed that a temporary workaround is to open up a terminal in 
      interleaf then close it.  Believe it or not, this fixes the problem 75% of
      the time.  I would prefer a 100% solution if anyone know one.

If anyone has solved this problem, either e-mail me or post it.  It might
be of interest to others also.
