Hi All, Well, when printing works, its easy. When it doesn't.......
I'm running a Redhat 7.3 system and got a new HP LaserJet 1300. I tried setting it up with cups, but in order to get the newest drivers to work, I'd have to upgrade so much that I would have to upgrade to RH 8 or 9--something I'm not willing to do at this time--so I tried setting the printer up with LPRng. I chose the laserjet 1200 (closest printer?) and the postscript driver. The ascii test page prints properly, but the postscript test page does not print at all. If I $cat ascii_file | lpr it prints properly. If I try to print a web page from Mozilla, the light on the printer flashes and flashes, but doesn't print. The same thing happens when I try to print the postscript test page. I have VMWARE 3.2.0 installed and updated. I have win98 running as a virtual machine and have installed the "laserjet III+ poscript" driver. Things print almost perfectly from the virtual machine. (I use the vm for quicken. I can print 2 full pages of checks, but I seem to find a random character error here and there and when it gets to the third page, I get a postscript error printed. I have also tried the generic postscript driver and the raw device driver to no avail. Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to get the printer working properly in linux?
