SUM: On the sparc2, there are 3 magnets on the paper tray. The position
of these magnets controls what paper size is loaded in the printer.
Apparently, when someone added more paper, the magnets were moved. I
reset them to the correct position, and printing works fine.
Also, it is possible to find the dates of patch installations by
ls -lt /var/sadm/patch
