ISSUE: "Error Processing Job Flushing rest of Job" after upgrading from A.02.10 to A.02.12. If left alone, the job will eventually print.

SOLUTION: Change the Drying time on the front panel back to Automatic from None The front panel setting had been set to None because of a conflict between Onyx and A.02.10.

ISSUE: Unable to print from a Macintosh. System Error message, "Error Flushing Job," is displayed.
