I'll bet my bottom dollar that you are running 2 parallel printers.  This
problem is known and the fix is described in the release notes of your
(HW) manual.

One parallel printer works ok because the interupt is unique but if you have
two then you need to change the system so that the CPU polls the boards (as
opposed to the boards interupting the CPU)
