We set our 8150's to Panic Behavior=DUMP_AND_REBOOT

This works /most/ of the time... the printer will delete the job and reset
itself.  Sometimes it doesn't work.

We get the 79.00FE with things other than PDF printing as well.....
sometimes even a student printing a text file from a Windows machine (using
the PostScript driver) will hang the printers with the 79.00FE.  It's
strange.  HP can offer no help.

While it /may/ be related to Code Red activity, we keep very careful logs of
all "hack attempts" against our network... Code Red activity has been fairly
non-existant lately around here and the printers still act up.

Here's the best part -- one of our 8150DN's is far worse about this than the
other.  We've patched the firmware on them both to the same, latest
revisions... explain that one!!!

Strangely enough, I /only/ have this problem with the 8150's when *nix is
involved in the mix.  But the funny part is, it's typically people printing
from the Windows workstations that lock the printers up!  Many of my clients
have simple Win2K servers with 8150's or 5000's attached on the network
(shared through the Win2K server), and anywhere from 5 to 50 Windows
workstations printing to the printers... they never get the error.

My prayer is that SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE will track this down and figure out
what the heck is going on.
