Subject: LaserWriter Blues

My users are beating me over the head about a nagging
issue that I have been too busy to address.  Maybe one
of you can save my head.

We are running SR 10.1, and our PostScript printers
include an Apple LaserWriter II-NT and a DEC LNO3R
ScriptPrinter.  Both printers seem to print text,
PostScript, and bitmaps (slowly) under correctly.
However, when printing text, say source files, both
printers eject alot of blank pages, which really 
increases printing time.  The ~/user_data/startup.prf
files have nothing unusual in them, and we are using
0.50" margins everywhere and Apollo carriage control.
Both printers hang off of 3500s at 9600 baud with
xon/xoff flow control.  Has anyone seen this problem
before?  Better yet, has anyone solved this problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
