It's not random. It'll happen every time you try to print a file
generated on a Macintosh.
Sun should be sued for selling a printer as "PostScript compatible"
that can't fucking handle output generated by a Mac. Who does the QA
work for Sun's printing group? Bozo The Clown? (No, it couldn't be
bozo because any bozo knows how to use a Mac)
Yeah, "generated by a Mac" does not constitute PostScript
compatibility, but gimme a break!
If you harass Sun they'll admit that it's a problem and send you
a patch that fixes it. So nice of them.
