can only print first page / cat I/O error


Hi,

when I try to print multi-page documents, the first page print fine, the rest 
is not printed at all. Instead the following lines are written to the log 
file (the error is about half way down):

[... first page works ...]
++ declare -xf print_stdin
+ /var/lib/apsfilter/rewindstdin
+ test -n ''
+ print_stdin
+ eval /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 -r600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 '-sOutputFile=>(cat' - 
'1>&3)' - -c quit '1>&2'
+++ cat -
++ /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 -r600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=/dev/fd/63 - 
-c quit
cat: Fehler beim Schreiben: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler
+ pipe_status
+ test 141 -eq 0
+ fault_job
+ echo 'apsfilter: unable to print job stdin'
+ logger -p lpr.error -t lpd
+ echo 'apsfilter: unable to print job stdin'
+ mailx -s 'apsfilter: printer fault during job stdin' -c root asterix
+ exit 2
+ rm -f /tmp/aps.1699.9qfkhM
[EOF]

The first cat to the same device did work. The device does not exist 
afterwards.
I use kernel 2.4.0, the printer is a Fujitsu PP10, with a HP ljet4 driver 
(this did work before I upgraded my distribution).
Any ideas?

Sebastian
