[comp.text.tex] EmTex dvihplj dvi driver problem with Deskjet 500

misawa@ux5.lbl.gov (shigeki misawa) (10/07/90)

	Hi, I was wondering if any Deskjet, Deskjet+ or Deskjet 500
owner has run into this particular problem when printing out a TeX
file using the dvihplj driver that comes with emTeX. When printing out
the file tcman.dvi which is contained in the directory
emtex/doc/english, the second page of text gets printed out onto the
second and third physical pages, with the last two lines of the second
page ending up on the third page, and the third page of text starting
on the fourth physical page. I had a similar problem with the Sprint
word processing package from Borland, however, with Sprint, I was able
to remedy the problem by enabling perforation skipping and enabling
Scaled text mode with the dip switches on the HP DeskJet 500.
Unfortunately, this did not work for the dvi driver. (I was using the
/od+ option with the dvihplj driver) Other pages in the tcman dvi file
exhibit this same behavior.
	If you own a DJ or a DJ+ or a DJ 500, and have or have not
encountered this problem, I would like to hear from you. If you
have run into this problem and have found a remedy, please email
me you solution. Thanks in advance
