In the less than 10 months since I've had my NeXT, I've had the
printer fuse blow *seven* times. I can replace the fuse, but this is
getting to be a real hassle.  So...

1. Have any other NeXT folk experienced similar problems?

2. I could modify the rc script to refrain from starting the np
daemon.  Likewise, I could put a wrapper around /etc/shutdown to do an
"nppower off".  Do you think either of these would help?

3. I'm not sure whether the fuse blows upon power on or power off. Aside
from the above two kludges, can you think of a good way to tell?

4. Any other thoughts or suggestions?
