I have a PostScript printer queue that, if I print multiple jobs to it, it
almost always stalls between each job. I have to "give it a kick" with:
lpc start all
to get it to go on and print more jobs.
Any idea why this might be happening?
I've attached my printcap. I print PostScript to the "ps" queue, and
it just uses GhostScript as an output filter.
TIA for any suggestions,
Randall
