Resolution: [U2] Again with Setting a Network Printer in Linux
And this is exactly it, and extreme thanks to all who helped out, and especially to Jerry Banker who had the correct answer pretty much right off the bat although the control character issues confused me into thinking it was something else. What was happening was a conflation of events: I could easily get the stairstepping issue to go away when using a proper printer driver, but the printer did not then interpret the printer control codes properly. When using RAW devices/no drivers, the printer control graphics & bolded text, etc, printed properly but no text because it was stairstepping right off the page. However, we were additionally led astray because converting the captured PCL output to PDF produced the same thing, i.e. the graphics but no text. Another hitch in my gitalong was that I had assumed that setting the CR Mode to : Convert LF to CR/LF would take care of the issue, but Joel Yates @ IBM tells me that so long as you're using /dev/null & not an actual device, this setting has no effect. Adding this: perl -ne 'chop; print $_,"\r\n"' | lp -dPRINTER to our printer driver works a treat; Joel pointed me at lponlcr & xtod, neither of which exist under the standard linux distros that I can find (still looking for equivalents), which reinforces Wol's point. If anyone knows of equivalencies, give a shout. Again, many, many thanks to everybody here, I'm a happy sysadmin again.

RE: [U2] Again with Setting a Network Printer in Linux
Dear Peter, Since you are working in an environment with Linux and Irix based servers, you should be able to create a print to file queue serviced by an LPD daemon on a *nix based machine in your network. You could then print the same sample form from the old Irix environment and the new RH environment to this destination instead of the actual printer. After you have the two sample *.prn files, representing the particular form generated in one of the two different environments, you can see what is different between the two files. If you are missing some formatting information at the beginning of the file from the new environment, you can then check the part of the program responsible for generating the missing information to see whether it might be suffering some form of processing issue in the new environment or whether the environment itself is most likely causing the difficulty. As the lp concept of printing is to temporarily capture a file (frequently to the hard drive) as it is generated by an application, and then send it to a defined destination once the file is completely created, it is possible for system issues (such as number of open files) to impede the proper creation of the file to be printed.

RE: [U2] Again with Setting a Network Printer in Linux
When we switched from Digital Unix to Redhat & (UV 8.3 -> UV 10) we had a printer problem where the top of a print job was lost. Our fix was to change the number of open files allowed on the system somehow, there were too many files open, and it messed up our print jobs, it was extremely inconsistant,and would change in where it cut off the print job. However, our problem existed with the &HOLD& file, and was not printer specific.

Hola all - Some more details might help. Are you in Universe ? Yes, that's where it's failing.

Well we've tried it on a couple, HP LJ 8150 is the 'true' destination, and an HP LJ 4200 we're using for testing, which again work fine for most other print jobs, just not (so far) for these particular forms. I've been able to replicate this on another test system as well. Inside the code, the programmer is using SETPTR as oppposed to SP-ASSIGN as in: ED MD SETF24 0001: PQ 0002: HSETPTR 0,80,59,0,0,1,FORM 24,NOHEAD,BRIEF 0003: P Same code works aces on the current uv 9.6 on Irix 6.5 system against the same printer, bails entirely on the uv 10.1.4 / RH 3.5 systems.
