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
