I've been running a NetBSD 1.3.3 machine as a print server for years.  The
only time I've seen this error was today, when I tried to print remotely from
a newly installed Mac OS X version 10.1 machine.  It worked fine from 10.0,
and continues to work from other (Linux) machines on my network.

Is the requesting machine running Mac OS X version 10.1?
