We are experiencing an unusual problem printing TeX files to a 
QMS800 laser printer that someone out there can perhaps help us
with...

We have had the QMS800 for a long time and it has been our TeX
workhorse.  We recently had problems of the printer crashing
when printing certain TeX files.  We traced the problem to the font
cmmi8 at 8pt (i.e. its natural size).  I retrieved a new copy of the
associated .PK file from utah-science and that didn't solve it.
The fonts cmmi6, cmmi7, cmmi10 do not give us any trouble at all.
Is there anything special about cmmi8?

Any clues, wild suggestions welcome.

Thanks
