Disable output on the HP box and look at the content of the spool file from a subsequent print request. Specifically, check the preamble. The preamble may be causing LPRNG to invoke a filter you don't really want to use. lpq -vvvvv on the Linux box should confirm which filter(s) are being used. If the filters invoked are identical for both printers, then the problem is in the "router". -- /"\ Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning, Perth, Western Australia \ / ASCII ribbon campaign | I'm a .signature virus!
