#We have a number of PCs connected by ether net to a MIPS server
#running PCNFS.  Printing is spooled through PCNFS to the MIPS and
#printed out on a postscript printer (Apple LW II).  We run a
#System V print spooler with Adobe Transcript (TM) software to
#process the postscript.
#
#Our problem is that for any new user (via net name * *) that 
#prints, the first printing somehow does get to the laserwriter
#printer, but do not print out.  On some application the program
#also returns an error for the 1st printout.  Subsequent printing
#proceeds fine.

Sounds like the infamous XID bug. Fixed in 3.0.1. Now, if you're
ALREADY running 3.0.1, I need more details (and maybe a couple of Excedrin :-)
