Here's my problem.  I have a file, shiver.dvi, that is 3 signs with a few
words in a large font and thick black borders.  I'm using dvips 4.2 with
an Apple LaserWriter II (no NTX).  I type
dvips -t landscape shiver
and I get the standard dvips fare, three pages, back to a normal prompt.
If I do an lpq, the job goes through the queue, is processed and 
removed.
As far the printer goes, it prints the burst page for the job, the little
'in-use' light starts blinking, and -
That's all.  The light blinks for at least 15 mins, and its not that
complex of a picture.
Anybody had any similar problems?
