Interesting. We have several HP printers here, and I saw the "Offending
Command" error frequently when trying to print from Quark. The fix was to
always choose Postscript Level 1 on Quark's confusing printer dialogs. In
my case the printer was a HP 5M; maybe it doesn't support PostScript as well
as other HP products. Or the problem could have been Quark. All I know is
that switching to Level 1 output made our documents print again.
