Hello;
The problem is fixed but not neccesarily solved. It is an unsatisfactory
solution because I don't really know the cause and effect of the problem. I
guess the fact that it has stopped is something.

SOLUTION ::
-----------
The solution was to just remove the printer(rm_np_printer) and then
install it again (add_np_printer). The errors went away. I find this disturbing
because several people said this just happens!! YUCK!
Glenn Satchell had this helpful suggestion ::
A couple of things to try. First check that you're not running out of
space in /tmp, the spool directory and that you have enough swap space.
Newsprint is particularly heavy on swap if you are printing large
files. Secondly, a useful patch to install is the xnews patch for
openwindows 3.0 (100444-40) as newsprint uses xnews to rasterise the
postscript before sending it down to the sparcprinter. Many of the bugs
fixed are to do with th enews (ie postscript) part of xnews. Part of
the README showing all the bugs fixed (60) is included below. Maybe
yours is in there?
I plan to install this patch.
Many thanks to ::
