I have a simple problem: I print large TeX files onto a LaserWriter Plus
which has 93000 bytes free. The TeX job (using dvips) prints a few pages
and stops. I suspect that the printer is running out of memory. There is
no way (that I know of) to get the printer's error message.

So I tried downloading ehandler.ps from adobe which makes the printer
print onto paper various log stuff.

This does not work. I only have ever seen a few messages from ehandler.
So my question is how do I use it? Am I supposed to send it to the
printer once? Once before each job? Or should it be edited into each
postscript file I send the printer? In particular I get no error messages
from the job that does not finish.

Thanks,
Tony Cooper
