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.

Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.
