I have just received TeX for my SCO ODT system. I need a little help getting output from the printer. I'll specify my configuartion and let (s)he knows decide what is and is not relevent. Particulars: I am running SCO ODT (i.e. SV3.2.0) with an HP Deskjet 500. The Deskjet 500 reputedly speaks fluent HPCXL. When TeX starts I get the following revision information: This is TeX, C Version 3.0 I created a small test file as per experiment two from DEK's The TeXbook. I compiled it into a dvi file, and then converted it to a .lj file using hp2lj. When I send it to the printer I used the following command: lp -o g <file>.lj It comes out with a few different problems. The letters are very close and there are a lot of instances of overlap. The example also has an umlaut in it which may correspond to where the checkerboard pattern came out. I also tried using cp and cat commands redirected to /dev/lp1 but the results were the same or worse. In addition, I tried the exact same lj file on a friends ISC Unix system with an HP LaserJet. His output comes out fine, indicating that there is no problem with the lj file. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to properly make this work? Please email me. Many thanks in advance. -- ----------Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas.------------------ Steven W.
