We'd need a little more information: what kind of printer is it? What kind of network? In what situations do they print out these error messages?

Are you printing via LDP or IP?

Also, what are you trying to print?

Is the Windows Server running as your Printer Server? If it is, you need to make sure the Windows Print Server is using a PostScript printer driver and not PCL. If it's using PCL or some other language, you can't print using PostScript.

Sometimes you can also set the printing language at the printer (was the case with my Kyocera). Set it from something like auto to Postscript and ensure everyone uses a Postscript driver.

We solved the problem by adding more memory to the printer.
