What's New
AppleShare IP Print Server 5.0.3 provides three bug fixes for AppleShare IP 5.0.2 Print Server.
1. A fix for the "network time out" problem. This bug was causing random print jobs to be not printed, mostly on non-Apple printers.
2. A fix for a bug where print jobs were sometimes "dropped" on busy servers.
3. Better compatibility with PostScript files generated by applications other than Apple laser printers. This fixes problems with printing from many graphics applications.
