Greetings collected eroff minds,
I'm using Elan's troff, eroff, on a Sun3/60 to print documentation.
Unfortunately I'm having trouble printing full-page "pic" diagrams on an
HP-2000. Using portrait mode, half-page or smaller diagrams within
text files are not a problem, but full-page diagrams abort after
printing only the left-hand side of the page (see below).

The problem does not seem to be a printer memory problem. The soft
fonts we have loaded are at the minimum 270K.
Thanks for any help or suggestions,

[ details deleted ] Tried to email this, but it bounced. Just a guess, but what's the size of the lp spool file on the pic|eroff output? I guess Suns don't have the ulimit problem that we Sys5'ers have, but could it be some spooling-related problem? Would it be worth a try to pic | eroff -X > /dev John -- John Kennedy johnk@opel.UUCP Second Source, Inc. Annapolis, MD
