- Don't sweat it - this is a problem with CAP ((I think). We have
- the same problem with our SGI box, and I've seen it reported with other
- cap users as well. Try removing the papof filter (I think it's papof -
- the one that does the banner pages). Then I think you'll find you'll
- be OK. You won't get banner pages, but everything else will work.
