This is printer-woes in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 01-Jul-1989 16:23:22 From: Unknown Subject: printer woes Since the problem I'm having seems to be chronic, I thought I'd post to the net and see if it was idiosyncratic as well. Last night my machine rebooted itself, irritatingly aborting the auto backup script which happened to be running at the time. A perusal of the system messages revealed the following: Jun 30 21:43:49 suzette vmunix: np0: serial command parity error Jul 1 02:39:07 suzette vmunix: panic: (Cpu 0) np_serial_cmd: can't flush printer status ... and then the reboot. This is happening with annoying consistency [about once a day]. Does anyone else have this problem? My theory is that this might be caused by my habit of leaving the Printer app running constantly with the Test... window open [so as to catch "toner low" messages]. By the way, has anyone discovered a more graceful way to discover when the printer thinks [erroneously] that the toner is low, or to convince it that the toner is only low when the toner is actually low? On an unrelated topic, is there a way to get the Workspace to open a Terminal window as console when it launches, similar to the way that it opens various apps in the dock on launch? I find it annoying to have to periodically Edit /private/adm/messages to look at the console messages. I know about Terminal -Console YES & from a command line, but what like to do this automatically. >From: amra@cis.ohio-state.edu (Nasir K Amra)
