Printing Gurus, Does anyone have any tips for getting an HP LaserJet 5L parallel attached printer working under OpenSolaris? I'm currently running Indiana:
SunOS Blaidd-Drwg 5.11 snv_93 i86pc i386 i86pc I've tried printing via LP and CUPS. With LP, I set up the printer and tried sending a print job to it. The printer printed the banner page. Then, it's status lights indicated that it had received some data, but not the end of the job. I eventually hit the button that tells it to print whatever is in it's buffer. It printed about the top half inch or so of the page I sent to it, and that was it. Subsequent attempts to send jobs to it wouldn't print anything. I switched to CUPS, and got basically the same results. I printed a test page from CUPS. The top inch or so of the test page printed, after I hit the button to force it to print, and nothing else. On subsequent attempts the CUPS web admin interface shows "Printer busy; will retry in 30 seconds..." I've even tried completely resetting the printer and stopping/starting it in CUPS to no avail. This same printer printed find via CUPS under both Linux and FreeBSD. Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes.
