A Novell ELS installation here has a strange problem that
only occurs when attempting to print.  Immediately following
a print, the messages:
ABEND - NE2000 DMA FAILURE
REBOOT SYSTEM
RUNNING PROCESS ROUTER

are displayed on the server, and the server is hung.
This is a non-dedicated server, which has an NE2000 card in it,
and all workstations have NE2000 cards.  This error occurs
whenever ANY workstation attempts to print.

Other than the print problem, the network services work fine.

Does anyone have an idea of what's going on here?  Any help will
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
