Hi  ...  we've got a small problem right now, and I'm hoping someone can
offer a solution.  We've been running a 2.15c network since last Fall,
supporting about 60 IBM/IBM compatibles, and 16 Mac II's, all on ether.
We do have LocalTalk set up for two printers for the Mac side, and have
two HP laserjets on the DOS side.  We had no major problems last
semester.

Recently we started maxing out the number of files open, at which time
all printing on both sides (DOS and Mac) would hang/stall/bomb, and the
network would essentially die.  During the month prior to this
happening, the server (PS/2 model 80) was crashing intermittantly,
giving us a GENERAL PROTECTION ERROR.  We regen'ed the OS, added more
memory to the server, replaced the mother board, etc. and we haven't
had that error message recently.  But we are now without our Mac
printing.

Running Mac 2.0 VAP, we can see the queues from the Novell side
(PCONSOLE and from the console)...it tells us that the Apple printer
queue is currently on-line, servicing 1 print queue, but from the
Chooser, no printers show up.

As I said, the printing was working fine until about a week ago.  Now
it's the pits! 8-)  Any help would be welcome.  Thanks in advance  ...
