I have a printing puzzle.  This is my setup:

	Mac IIsi, A/UX 2.0.1, QMS-PS 410 on localtalk

This is what happens:

	Printing from		What happens
	-------------		------------
	Mac OS & appls		Works fine
	A/UX, A/UX Finder
	      & Mac appls	Works fine
	A/UX, lpr		Works sporadically

What happens is that I may or may not get any output.  If the output does
show up, it may be minutes later.  Note that the printer is chosen,
and atstatus shows the correct status.  If I run atprint directly,
it also gets the printer status correctly.  If I simultaneously print
from a Mac application, atprint sees the printer go busy then idle again.
Any clues?  Thanks.
