What's wrong:
Look at the last 3 lines of this console transcript.
What should have happened:
I don't know. I shouldn't have gotten these error messages, anyway. And

17:24 The printer "Thesis" is to be used only for printing final copies of
17:24 theses, because it is stocked with archival bond paper. To provide
17:24 additional capacity for printing theses, the printer "Europa" will
17:24 be stocked with archival bond paper from now through the end of the
17:24 semester. Please use "Thesis" or "Europa" only for printing a single
17:24 copy of your thesis. Do not print multiple copies of your thesis on
17:24 either of these printers.

Please tell me:
1) What's gone wrong.
2) What the effects of #1 are.
3) What I can do about it.
4) Anything else helpful about this that you know.
A friendly aside: I am using Athena from the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution (WHOI) cluster. Things are often different, or slower, or
just weird, down here compared to Cambridge. Somebody from systems or
operations could learn A LOT by spending a few days down here and
trying to get any work done.
thanks for your attention,
