Dear Readers

I'm using FreeBSD 4.0 Release with apsfilter-5.1.3 and an HP DeskJet540.

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: <Parallel port> 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: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 
Aug 20 19:03:20 student /kernel: lpt0: <Printer> 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.

Many regards

Richard Mahoney
