I am still using the old "HPNPL" software for JetDirect cards under Solaris 10. Sun has broken this software so many times it is no longer funny. The last time was in a patch for the lp subsystem with no warning whatsoever. I had to manually fix all the HP model scripts because Sun silently changed the "-o" option handling. Maybe you are passing some "-o" option which no longer has any effect? After a brief spell using CUPS and losing almost all means of passing paper handling options to the printer, I went back to the HPNPL tool. The package by HP is not well-formed and on a barely Solaris 8 level. HP of course does not care since they have received the money for their printer, and "nobody uses Solaris for printing anyway." :-( Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
