SUMMARY
When using the PSNET.PRD or PSNETSS.PRD network PostScript printer driver with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS version 5.5, printing multiple copies or performing print merges may fail when you reach a certain number of copies (12 for most printers). A LimitCheck error occurs on PostScript printers that are configured to print PostScript errors.

MORE INFORMATION
To correct this problem, edit the initialization file with the following steps:

 In Word 5.5, open the initialization file as a text document. The file is named HP3SIPSN.INI for the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIIsi, PSNET.INI or PSNETSS.INI for all other printers.  Search for the line that reads:      /PSe {end} def   Modify it to read: "/PSe { count 2 ge { restore pop } if end } def"  Below that line, add the following line: "/IsFirstPage {count 2 ge {1 index (FirstPage) eq} {false} ifelse not} def"  Search for the line that reads:      /SFL {landscape {dup msu neg 0 exch translate} if msu /ptop exch def save} def   Modify it to read: "/SFL {landscape {dup msu neg 0 exch translate} if msu /ptop exch def IsFirstPage {(FirstPage) save} if} def" From the File menu, choose Save As. Select the Text-Only format, and choose the OK button.</li> Turn the printer off and back on before printing to ensure that any previous initialization files are cleared from the printer's memory.</li></ol>
