The trouble is that my postscript jobs are failing to print. I usually succeed in getting a few pages and then the printer stops. The upshot is that I have to ``su'' to root and kill ghostscript. For what they are worth, these are the messages I'm getting: On booting: Aug 20 19:03:20 student /kernel: ppc0: at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 Aug 20 19:03:20 student /kernel: ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mo de Aug 20 19:03:20 student /kernel: ppi0: on ppbus0 Aug 20 19:03:20 student /kernel: lpt0: on ppbus0 Aug 20 19:03:20 student /kernel: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port On the print job failing: Aug 22 12:05:04 student /kernel: stray irq 7 Aug 22 12:06:06 student su: rbm49 to root on /dev/ttyp5 This problem doesn't seem to happen all of the time but its becoming more frequent. Any assistance would be gratefuly received.
