We have two PSJET+ printers that have been misbehaving a lot recently.
Perhaps someone has experienced these problems before. These printers
hang off our Sun file server(SunOS 3.3?).
The first problem appears to happen when a portrait mode job follows
a landscape job. The first page of the portrait job appears to be
landscape oriented on a portrait page. Perhaps this is a spooler
problem, not sending EOT? Here is the /etc/printcap file:
1|lp|lp1|lw|ps|lazer1|postscript|PostScript:\
:lp=/dev/tty09:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lp1d:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:\
:br#9600:\

:xc#0:\
:xs#0040040:\
:mx#0:\
:el=^C^D^S^Q^U:\
:sf:\
:sh:
Any obvious errors here?
The second problem appeared after I began doing some postscript
programming. The postscript program I wrote produces a single page
landscape form. The landscaping is achieved by:
90 rotate
0 -8.5 inches translate
where inches is define as {72 mul}. This postscript program works
well. But occassionally, it and jobs submitted via enscript have
a very strange transformation performed on them(this occurs on only
the first page of multi-page enscript jobs). The transformation is
a reduction in scale(1/6 to 1/8), upside down mirror image. The
printer's help line thinks this may be a controller board problem.
