Printing FAQ
My printer faults and prints same document over and over
The only time I've seen this happen is when some very old interface scripts were copied up to a new version. I never took the time to look at the scripts to see why they weren't working, but apparently they'd hang for some reason, so lp would assume a printer fault, stop the job, wait a bit, and then send it again. And again, and again.. Replacing the interfaces with current versions fixed it instantly.

I could make a wisecrack about being turned on, shaking and making loud noises, but as Tony has alluded in other places, this is a G-rated area on the 'Net.
