Does it print any of the job? Is this a network printer, or is it on a
serial/parallel line? I've seen this on serial attached high speed
printers where you had to dump enough data to the printer to fill its
internal buffer, before it could print it, causing problems with the
handshaking (both hard and soft). Many variations on that theme, one
side expecting a soft hand shake, the other doing hard; or printer
configured for hard and serial pinout not right; stty settings don't
have the right settings for soft handshake characters (XON/XOFF set to
something goofy) or one or more not turned on....
Many headaches and late nights with serial connections... (I had almost
forgotten all that :(
