We have a slight problem and i hope you can help us with it.
We have a HP product called cat_ts8 which should provide us the functionality
to print over the network.
At the "other" end we have a HP-Laserjet II hooked on a NIU
the port of the NIU has an IP-adress so we thought everything should be
O.K.

Problem :
The printers starts printing (we changed our printer-interface file
                              to collect data in a temporary file)
but after about two pages it starts asking for a Form-Feed
when pressing the FF we find that we lost almost all remaining data

Have you heard about these sort of problems ?
Have you heard about Software packages like cat_ts8 ?
short: do you have a solution ??

Thanks in advance,
