I've been using MacServe in "stand-alone" mode for a while and have run
into numerous printing problems:
	1.  With "Pr" (A. Shebanow's printing program), the cursor freezes.
		The job title (optionally printed by MacServe) is garbage.
	2.  With "PrSpool" (? - the printing program that comes with MacNosy),
		the cursor freezes.
	3.  When I print in normal or high quality, the word "TOO" appears
		here and there.  It's always in portrait orientation, even
		if I'm printing in landscape.
I've been remiss about reporting this stuff to Infosphere (at first I 
thought it was just a problem with Pr), so I don't have an official response.
