Hi there. When I use lw-sipb, with Scribe (yeah, I know - yuk) often
the printout advances to page 8 or so, encounters a postscript error
and breaks. That's OK with me - gotta expect those scribe errors once
in a while (I should be using LaTeX). However, the printer then begins
to print out the entire file from the beginning. I'd rather it were
smart enough to print out beginning with page 8 again. Is there a default
to lw-sipb that will do this? How do printers handle postscript errors?
Should I build a postscript hack to watch for errors, and then insert
that into the Scribe postscript stuff?

Thanks.

-Jon
