SUM: Postscript error: cutting off page

From: Philip Hurvitz (phurvitz@u.washington.edu)

SUM: On the sparc2, there are 3 magnets on the paper tray. The position
of these magnets controls what paper size is loaded in the printer.
Apparently, when someone added more paper, the magnets were moved. I
reset them to the correct position, and printing works fine.

Also, it is possible to find the dates of patch installations by

        ls -lt /var/sadm/patch

Thanks to the following:

and others yet to be rec'd.
