Recently, one of our NeXT laser printers stopped working. After closer inspection, it seems to me that it is a software problem. Here is an excerpt of /usr/adm/messages: Feb 25 17:48:57 jrgraves mach: Remote debugging enabled Feb 25 17:48:57 jrgraves mach: NeXT ROM Monitor 2.1 v59 Feb 25 17:48:57 jrgraves mach: NeXT Mach 2.0: Wed Nov 21 12:46:53 PST 1990; /ph1_sources/projects/mk-108.1/RELEASE Feb 25 17:48:57 jrgraves mach: FPU version 0x40 Feb 25 17:48:57 jrgraves mach: physical memory = 8.00 megabytes.

I tried unhooking the printer and rebooting, I copied npd and npcomm from a machine that has no printer problems, I erased /dev/np0 and remade it with MAKEDEV. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
