Here's the story:

Ever since I upgraded my NeXTCube 030 to NeXTStep 2.0, my HP
Laserjet III PostScript doesn't work right.

I am constantly getting I/O Config errors when printing Complex PostScript
files. If I try to reset the printer, I proceed to get PS Error 18, which
says a non-postscript operator has been used. 

PostScript Preview opens the file without error. Printing from Preview 
causes the same error.

The NeXTCube continues to send data to the printer, even when the
print queue is empty. I let it sit overnight, and the printer was
still receiving data the next morning!

I would like to hear from someone at HP, if at all possible. My NeXT
printer will be ordered by next Friday, but until then, I need a printer
that does what it's supposed to do.

Thanks,
MikeC
