[vox-tech] trouble printing text file

[Rhonda Frances Bailey]

hi all.

here is a strange problem.  i have a matlab editor file which i want
to print from home.  in matlab, comments are indicated by a %

pete's printer, an hp laserjet 6mp, stalls when printing a file containing
the header

% Rhonda Bailey
% EEC 140A HW 7
% 27 November 2000

but prints when the second line is either removed or changed to 
$ EEC 140A HW 7

any insight?

thanks,
rhonda
