Is the long wait between the Mac and DEC or between the DEC and the printer?
In other words, does it take a long time to spool the job or does it take
a long time to send the job to the printer? How is the printer attached
to the DEC (serial or AppleTalk)? I would say a 15 hour or more wait is
not normal; my guess is that there is a communication problem between
netatalk and the printer. What kind of printer is it?
