I am looking for a printcap for an HP laserjet III for a DECstation 5000 running Ultrix 4.1 and the important printer settings that go along with it. I have done lots of experimenting, and it seems that I can't get the flow control to work. Anything under 10 pages prints fine, but after 10 pages it halts and starts over. Please email me any information you can. Here are some specific questions that I have? - What is the best printcap for an HP laserjet III? - What are the accompanying printer settings? - What is rhobust flow control? - What RS232 wires does the HP require/use? Please send whatever advice you can regardless of whether or not it fits one of my questions. I would prefer to understand the problem rather than just lower the baud rate.

If anyone has an answer to this one please post a message to the net, it may be a general Problem of the HP LJ III. Markus Wolf lupus@cs.uni-sb.de Universit"at des Saarlandes
