Sometime ago, I read that some people had setdefaulttimeouts
problem with lwsrv to LaserWriter II NTXs. The log file reports:
%%[ Error: invalidaccess; OffendingCommand: setdefaulttimeouts ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
It never happened to me so I mostly ignored the solutions. Now it has
happened to me! Can someone tell me how to beat these *@#! printers
into submission!

This requires doing an exitserver and knowing the correct printer password (default is zero). What you should do is get a copy of the programs I wrote, macps and prepfix (available via anonymous ftp from sumem-aim.stanford.edu, in the info-mac/unix directory under macps-22.shar). prepfix takes a Command-K produced PostScript file and edits it so that it works with macps and lwsrv, editing out offensive lines. macps, by the way, takes a Command-F generated PostScript file and appends the appropriate modified LaserPrep file and allow you to lpr it to a PostScript printer.
