Sorry it took me so long to get back to you; I managed to sleep through
the page on the first try.
I'm guessing there's two problems at work here. As I'm sure you're
aware, there's been a lot of network problems over the last few days,
campus-wide. Printers don't work great when the network between them and
the print server isn't working; you'll see the print server retry three
times, before giving up. There's no other problem with isp and po02
(they printed my print job fine), so I assume what you saw was such a
transient failure.
The problem with pp02 is slightly different. It looks like what happened
is that it got rebooted during the network lossage, and didn't completely
tftp its configurations (since tftp is especially vulnerable to network
difficulties). Please ask the client to reboot the printer, and try
again; it may take a few tries.
