Hi Guys,
OK got the printer working. The problem IS, AFAICT, the driver. At work
the HP 1100 I have setup fine but that was 2 years ago. This 1100 is a
new which I have borrowed and is pretty much the same externally.
Remember I mentioned that all the blank lines of my letter in the
Postscript failed to appear in the output but the test page from the
apsfilterconfig printed fine. Reason was that the test page is an image!
If I print a Postscript page of my own with small images and text mixed
the images came out fine, ie correct scale, but all blank lines in text
is suppressed. Ie the driver is not handling any lines with just a
carriage return.
I gave up on the driver named "laserjet" and tried other "laser<blah>"
drivers. laserjet3 was fine except all blank lines at the top disappear.
Eventually laserjet4 works fine. Yes an 1100 is not a laserjet4 but this
driver works fine and at 600dpi.
So I don't know what has happened here but I suspect that HP may have
changed something so that the old driver no longer works?
Thanks for the many suggestions.
Mike
PS. The print job was the 75 page 'Journal of the Royal Society of NSW'
to go to the printers this week. I'm now the Editor/Typesetter; the last
issue was done in Framemaker, this issue it's done in LaTeX :-)
