Subject: PPR: Myserious Breakdown

Well, after much success with PPR in general - I'm at a loss due to one big
problem.  It just quits working.  During the last 2 weeks I have had two
Macintosh users printing to my Tektronix printers exclusively via the PPR
spooler.  Occasionally, they will get a postscript error, but that is all.
Unfortunately, 3 times now the PPR spooler just stops functioning as far as
the macs are concerned (I can still print from the Linux box itself).  The
macintosh just sits there saying "PPR Spooler is receiving your job" and you
eventually have to ESC out.  The only thing that gets PPR back is
reinstalling.  I'm not giving up!  I just downloaded b2 so maybe that will
be different.  Here is my environment in case anyone has any ideas.

Mac users are all 8.5 or 8.6.1 printing from mostly Quark 4.1 and Acrobat
4.0 to Tek 740, 600, 550, & 780.  PPR 1.40b1 is running on RedHat 6.1
Pentium 150.

Thanks

Jonathan
