- Thanks to all who responded concerning my PostScript printing
- problem, but fsck reported nothing.
-
- To recap: After having my v2.1 cube off for a week, I find that
- sending anything to the printer results in the following PostScript
- errors reported from npd:
-
- %%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; Offending Command: run ]%%
- %%[ Error: typecheck; Offending Command: machportdevice ]%%
-
- BEFORE the errors appear, the system appears to be normal.
- AFTER the errors appear, however, the system is really munged!
-
- - If I click on "CONSOLE" under workspace tools, I
- get the "spinning disk" busy-indicator forever.
- - If I double-click on /usr/lib/NextPrinter/comm, I get:
- "Workspace Error 1000: Continue or Logout?"
- (It logs me out any way I answer).
- - In a terminal window, if I issue a command that
- displays lines of text (like "ls" or "ps"), I get
- only a few characters displayed of each line.
-
- One final bit of info: I can boot from my 2.0 Release Optical
- and printing is just fine. I've tried replacing things on disk
- to no avail. What components are involved in printing?
-
- Please repost to this newsgroup - my email is out as well!
- Thanks.
