- I have just built cap60 patch level 125 on our DEC 5400 running Ultrix 4.2
- and am experiencing problems with banner pages.
-
- What happens normally is that the banner program papof gets called before a
- print job is printed and creates a file called .banner which is then
- picked up by papif and printed before the standard input.
-
- This all worked swimingly for patch level 75. Now what happens is that the
- contents of the .banner file is sent to the printer, but when it comes to
- try sending the actual file to the printer it fails with an error code of
- -1079 (tooManyReq) according to the documentation this error should
- *never* occur!
-
- Has anyone else seen this problem? Or am I alone? A dump of the errorlog
- from papif is appended below.
-
- BTW we are running pure iptalk, no uab and no ethertalk stuff.
-
- Any help that people can give on this would be appreciated...
