The PostScript in the YaST test page simply fills up the whole
imageable area of the driver/PPD combination (see the text
at the bottom of the YaST test page).
If you use Letter paper, select this media size.
Otherwise the driver will produce too big output because
we have by default A4 in our PPD files.
If printing from applications (in applications you set
the unprintable margins individually) exceeds the printable
area of your printer (provided you selected at least the right
media size), you should choose another driver.
There are many drivers for a HP LaserJet 5 available:
"HP LaserJet 5 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)"
"HP LaserJet 5 Foomatic/pxlmono (recommended)"
"HP LaserJet 5 Foomatic/ljet4"
"HP LaserJet 5 Foomatic/lj4dith"
"HP LaserJet 5 Foomatic/lj5gray"
"HP LaserJet 5 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.1 Simplified"
"HP LaserJet 5 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.1"
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_5
recommends to use the HP driver HPIJS/HPLIP, see
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/laser.html
which is this PPD file:
/usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP-LaserJet_5-hpijs.ppd.gz
"HP LaserJet 5 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)"
Each available driver has its pro and cons and it is almost
impossible to recommend one single best driver.
Does
/usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP-LaserJet_5-hpijs.ppd.gz
"HP LaserJet 5 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)"
work well for you?
Did YaST select the pxlmono driver by default
or did you select it manually?
