Actually, would be a better place to post your questions... There is also a mailing list. Mail me or if you wish to join. I have found that problems printing the RCS manual are often due to broken "psrev" (postscript reverse page order) programs. Try editing the file so that the first line is just `%!' instead of `%!PS-Adobe-2.0'. This will prevent psrev from trying to mess around with the file. One way to test for this problem is to compare the original file and the output of a "psrev | psrev" command. It should be the same. It is possible that your printer is running out of virtual memory. There is usually a log file somewhere (on my machine in /usr/adm) which will have a transcript of error messages from the printer. Finding the error message (if any) may produce valuable clues.
