We have a couple Appletalk/Localtalk networks on campus with
about 25 macs (pluses and SEs) and 5 imagewriter IIs.  We have
recently connected these nets with other localtalk nets using
Shiva NetBridges.  Now the Imagewriters (w/appletalk option 
cards) have taking to jamming our networks.  I am told that
this behavior may be related to printing packets getting lost
and printers not recovering from the error.  Does anyone know
if this is indeed what is happening?  Any suggestions on how
to go about alleviating the problem?  ( We have discussed a
number of possibilities that all involve throwing money at the
problem, e.g. replacing the imagewriters with or reconfiguring
each net with a starcontroller )  Comments?

Thanks,
Daneher
