[comp.unix.ultrix] Using HP LaserJet with DS3100

hung@hydrogen.cchem.berkeley.edu (Hung H. Le) (09/29/90)

	We have an HP LaserJet printer connected to a DS3100 (Ultrix 3.1)
    through one of the port (/dev/tty01) in the back of the base unit.
	Intermittently, the LaserJet stopped with the error number 22
    (receiving buffer has overflowed during a busy state). If you know what
    might have caused this problem, please leave me a message. My Email
    address is at the end of this message. Thank you.

This may be stating the obvious, but is flow control (XON-XOFF) enabled on
your laserjet?  Are you using lpr(1) for spooling.  If so, what does your
/etc/printcap entry look like?
