- I am running a Sparc 2 with NewsPrint (version 2 I believe) and a SparcPrinter.
- With increasing frequency, my system is dying when I print. The most common
- error message is a BAD TRAP, followed by a system panic. Less common is
- PANIC: TEXT FAULT. From what I am tell from the net, this is an extremely
- common problem, but one for which I have yet to hear a solution. I would
- much appreciate any information people have about this. Is it a hardware
- problem, a software problem, or what? I am running Sun OS 4.1.1, would it
- help to upgrade to 4.1.2 ? I am losing my system about 80% of the time I
- try to print now, so I am getting desperate. Help!
