While trying to print to an HP II P laserprinter using the parallel
port I'm running into two annoying errors:
	1.  The printer is only recognised by the system if:
	      first the printer is powered on and then the 
	      system is booted.  This wouldn't be a problem,
	      but   
	2.   after some time without printing anything (around 
	      20 - 30 minutes), the system just stops running.
	      System needs a reboot to come into live again.  
Does anybody made similar experience and found solutions to
these problems ? My setup is:
	1040 ST with  2.5 Mbyte , TOS 1.4, Neodesk 3.0,
	 SH204  and SM124 

Any help is appreciated.		Matthias Heiden
