[comp.lang.postscript] IOERRORs in/after print jobs

bgoetz@eddie.MIT.EDU (Brian Goetz) (08/15/89)

We are having some puzzling problems with our LaserWriters. We have 
downloaded an error handler that displays the error name and the contents
of the operand and execution stacks when a PostScript error occurs,
and we have been getting frequent IOERRORs after (or sometimes in 
the middle of) print jobs.  It happens on jobs printed through both
the async and AppleTalk ports.  The command being executed at the time of 
the error is often not a file-system command (e.g., ashow.)  

Does someone out there have more info about how PostScript handles errors
or what circumstances could cause ioerrors?  Has anybody seen this behavior
before?
