Eric,
        Dumping graphics screens to a network printer. Ah, the joys thereof.
About the best that one can say is that Novell has found a way of making the
process as slow as physically possible, and then once in a while it manages
to lose the files altogether. Nothing seems to fit: disk access time, network
transmission rates, printer speeds, etc. It is just glacial. Queue a few of
these and things start getting lost. Yes, Novell is well aware of all this
because each site goes through the same experience. My best guess is that
each byte goes as a separate packet.
