I assume you're using the Postscript driver, and not the HP LaserJet 4 driver. If not, switch, graphics are the first thing that will hang a PCL driven printer in _any_ OS. Unless, of course, the LJ4M doesn't support Postscript (I thought it comes with it by default ... or is that the "Plus" models?). Secondly, I assume you're sending all ASCII85 and not any binary to the printer. Does Scribus attempt to send binary Postscript at all? Is it configurable to send ASCII85 encoded instead? -- Bryan J.
