I'm writing to summarize responses to a previous query, for the sake
of having an answer in the archives.

My problem was timeouts in papd when connecting from LaserWriter 8
(8.5.1), causing the Macs (MacOS 8.1) to freeze up. The cause of the
problem turned out to be (as I had suspected) PPD files with incorrect
line-ending conventions. Adobe supplies PPD files in both DOS (CRLF)
and Mac (CR) formats. I converted my PPD files to Unix convention
(LF), and everything is swimming.

Thanks to everyone who responded.
