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.

Now, if you're ALREADY running 3.0.1, I need more details (and maybe a couple of Excedrin :-) Geoff Arnold, PC-NFS architect, Sun Microsystems.
