I am new at posting to news but I understand I might be able to solicit some hlelp with following problem via mailing to you. Please let me know if I am incorrect in this understanding. My problem is: I am attemting to hang an HP Laser Jet Series III printer off of a SUN 4/370 without successs. I have working filter and printcap entry for a Series II hung off a 4/280 but when try to use it in the above situation the first page printed comes out with a grey scale backround (very expensive consumption of toner in addition to being an undesirable effect) and some random font. Has anyone out there put this combination together ? I am using one of the 4/370 9 pin tty ports for this but I don't cabling is my problem as I have a tip line and plotter successfully hooked up to other 2 9 pins ttys. Releated to the above question, can anyone recommend a information source on the meaning of the printcap flag fields (xs,xc, and fc and fs). Please respond to waterman@boulder.colorado.edu as I don't get time to follow the news posting consistently. Thanks in advance
