I apologize for not clarifying the problem.  After printing from a remote 
machine, the printer will print a few pages and then stall.  When I reset 
the printer I get a error page:

Internal Error - False
Position : (hex code here - two different codes are 0xfa55b and 0xface5)
System : h6fwsim_mono/x1_image
Line : 132
Version : QPDL 5.04 04-25-2005

Other then the hex code, the information seems to be the same on all of 
the error pages that I have recieved.  I have not completely ruled out 
that it is not the printer, but when I hook my laptop up directly to the 
printer it seems to print fine.  When I tried to print the same document 
directly from the BSD machine it printed fine as well.  This leads me to 
wonder if it has to do with the networked spooler.

Printing a document of 2 to 3 pages seems to print fine remotely.
