Here are the things I came up with: 1) The pap_write() failed messages indicate that papsrv is trying to send something to the Mac. I think the errno values are meaningless. I would try setting the LaserWriter 8 "PostScript Error Reporting" to "Summarize on Screen" and printing a fairly long job. It may be that papsrv is trying to send an error message to the Mac but the Mac has already disconnected. 2) The "qentry->For is empty" message may indicated a misconfigured Macintosh with its owner name set to an empty string. 3) When you delete PPR and install it again your are, amoung other things, clearing out the cache in /var/spool/ppr/cache/fonts/, encodings/, procsets. I would try deleting files in there. 4) Even when it is compiled without debugging, papsrv has some debugging code. It will report on the query stage of a Macintosh job when the Mac asks papsrv what fonts it has an stuff like that. The debugging can be toggled from off to on to verbose by sending papsrv SIGUSR1 (I think, check the man page). If the job is being lost due to some malfunction at that stage, you might get something useful. 5) You could edit papsrv.h and turn debugging on and recompile papsrv.
