Speaking of printer problems, I've got one I've been meaning to trace
but haven't.
Every time I send a job to the printer, if it's in the middle of
printing the job, and lpd sends it another one, the printer resets
and aborts whatever's in the buffer.
I haven't tested with cat to see if it's lpd or the simple open of
/dev/lpXXX. This behavior shows up with both lpa and lpt with a
DeskJet 550C.
As for the install floppies...I've built images from source that I'll
hopefully use this weekend to help set up a friend. I'll report back
RSN.
