I am doing something wrong. On a DEC 5500 running Ultrix 4.3a, I have added
several parallel printers using HP Jetdirect printservers. For the most
part, the printers run fine. However, I am having a problem with some print
jobs just stopping in the middle. The system thinks they finished, and the
printer stays on-line, but it just stops. On one oki321 in particular, you
can take the printer off-line and then back on-line, and the job will
finish. However, all the other printers lose the remainder of the job. The
printers are oki 393's and Citoh 3500's. The following is the printcap entry
for one, which is identical to the others except for the printer name.

        :rm=p33:\ 
        :rp=raw:\ 
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd3:

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
