Hello, everyone.

I recently installed TeX (3.14t3), LaTeX (2.09), and dvips (3.11) on a 
NCR S486/MC33 running UNIX System V/386/486 Release 4.0 Version 2.0.  
I've been trying to print the 3-page "sample.tex" file distributed with 
the LaTeX source on NCR 6436 printers, but was never successful.  Since I 
have it compiled so that it prints the last page first, it would print all
of Page 3, but complain about "undefied command at Execution Stack 5"
when it was supposed to print the Page 2. 

I can get around this problem by dividing up the sample.tex document into 
several pages and print one page at a time.  But I really really like to
know what's causing it in the first place -- dvips, LaTeX, the printer, or 
the operating system.  I was able to print several 10 - 14 page documents 
with no problems.  

Has anyone experienced similar problems?  If so, how did you get around it?

Thanks.

                                                 -- Elsie Wu
