> I've received complaints from five of our sites about the exact same problem. I have not found a solution yet. If I do I will be sure to post it. I won't go into all the different steps I've taken to try to resolve because they were too numerous and you listed SOME of the exact same steps. We have seen this with Redhat 3 and 4 (on HP 5si through 9000 print models).
