After three attempts with hotline, I am begging for
help from the net.

Since installing 10.2 (using UNIX 4.3) on my DN3500,
I can't get my postscript printer (Apple IINTX) to
work.  I am running lpd and using Adobe postscript
since I have a mixed environment of Unix workstations.
At 10.1, everything worked fine.

The problem is that it will print 3-4 pages at most
and then the printer quits.  The error log has the following error:

%%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: >            214  ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

(the number 214 changes in each message).

I moved the printer to a Sun workstation, and the printer
works fine.  I then moved the printer from the 3500 to a
new DN2500, and got the error again.  I installed recommended patches
with no results.  After trying everything I can imagine, I finally
lowered the baud rate to 1200, and the printer works on both the
DN2500 and the DN3500.  It's driving everybody crazy, and I get
double "whammy".

Any suggestions with be most appreciated.
