Subject: printing "problems"...

A couple things seem to me to be a bit
wierd about how my mac prints to my
Harlequin RIPstation.
First, I get recurring entries like the following
in my /var/log/messages file:
Oct 1 04:21:51 gandalf papd[858]: child 10620 for "Rip-2400-133" from 65344.80
Oct 1 04:21:51 gandalf papd[10620]: lp_print queued
Oct 1 04:21:51 gandalf papd[858]: child 10620 done
Oct 1 04:27:23 gandalf papd[858]: child 11079 for "Rip-2400-133" from 65344.80
Oct 1 04:27:23 gandalf papd[11079]: lp_print queued
Oct 1 04:27:23 gandalf papd[858]: child 11079 done
Apparently every 6 minutes which is causing
the file to become fairly large. Also, the RIP
log keeps getting entries that say:
[exitserver: permanent state may be changed]
The mac only seems to be able to print documents
that do not use a lot of fonts or other complexities.
Anything in the least bit 'tricky' causes a variety
of non-sensical errors to come up on the RIP.
From the appearance of it, it *looks* like some
info is getting garbled or mis-encoded in
transmission.
Size doesn't seem to matter. A 110 mb CMYK
color-separated prints fine in seconds, but a simple
job that uses a few fonts won't RIP.
If anyone can provide some direction on this, I
would appreciate it.
my papd.conf is as follows, if it may help:
Rip-2400-133:\
:pr=lp0:op=root:\
:pd=/etc/ppd/ecrmmako.ppd:
Thanks,
Walt

1st customer: "I'll have tea."
2nd customer: "Me, too -- and be sure the glass is clean!"
(Waiter exits, returns)
Waiter: "Two teas. Which one asked for the clean glass?"
