We have recently attached our HP Laserjet Series II printer to our Sun file server and are attempting to use it from a number of PCs networked together using PC NFS. Everything "seems" to be set up correctly and the PCs can send print jobs through the network to the printer, queued up by lpd on the Sun. However, a number of documents seem to be coming out with "garbage" at the beginning (what looks like part of a font download), and some spurious looking text segments with the wrong font. Others just come out with a variety of problems. This is not a strictly repeatable situation, sometimes a document works, and then it doesn't. Here's our printcap entry: lp2|HP:\ :lp=/dev/ttya:\ :br#4800:fc#0177777:fs#06023:xc#017777:xs#044040:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lp2:sh:sf We're using (I mean, trying to use) PageMaker, Write, and other PC oriented tools, and we're having them dump HPPCL to the printer when they output a file for printing. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. -- Win Strickland Internet: win@audiofax.com Director of Product Development UUCP: emory!audfax!win AudioFAX, Inc.
