   I just tried to run a test using all print modes on my stc740. The
   first image I tried caused the "blank page" problem even though I
   knew that the printer was doing fine yesterday. So I assumed that
   it must have been the small changes Robert checked in since then.
   Therefore I'm going back to the version I had yesterday and tried
   it again withe same result. It did not work with the test image
   that I'm always using. So I loaded the colors.tif file and tried
   to print this: Success. It worked.

   Then I loaded the penguin again and it printed fine. Where are we
   using /dev/random to determine the success or failure of a print?

Grr.  I REALLY don't like this kind of stuff.

   BTW: I did powercycle the printer a few times when it was not
   working just to make sure that none of my other jobs (ghostscript
   with uniprint driver) left the printer in a funny state.

When it did finally work, did you then powercycle it to verify that it
still worked?

Something about this gives me the willies, especially with those magic
commands whose function we don't understand.
