One of my customers had a problem with large PDF files hanging up Acrobat
during printing on the Metaframe servers, and I spoke to HP about it. They
advised me to use PS drivers exclusively and get rid of the PCL drivers. We
replaced the PCL driver with PS for the printer type that 80% of the users
print to, and it seems to have made a difference.

Dont know what the problem is.. I was under the view that PS drivers are
even more stable than the PCL versions!
We certainly ran Laserjet PS drivers here for a while, at least until the
PCL drivers stopped crashing our old NT4/MS1.8 servers :)
