My printer is an HP 4P that does PCL only. I set it up using YaST and it works fine other than the extra page printing problem. I setup the Win95 boxes to use HP 4L/M Postscript. I didn't see a generic HP 4 Postscript driver available in Win95 but the 4L was a fairly low-end model like my 4P. The 4P is 600x600dpi while the 4L is 300x300 dpi I believe.

i had the same using a hp postscript driver in win95 with the lp-queue

but you can avoid it, when you install a windows-driver exactly for your printer and print directly to the raw-queue on your linux box- then ghostscript wonŽt do anything- the file will go directly to the printer...

if you have suse 5.2 there is a problem with the raw-device, so you will first only get garbage:

in /var/lib/apsfilter/filter/data and /var/lib/apsfilter/filter/raw change the line:

eval $DECOMPRESS $PRINT_PS

to:

$DECOMPRESS cat -

then you can use the win95 driver...

hope it helps...

That did the trick and so I can now use the Win95 driver for the HP 4P with the "raw" printer on my SuSE host. I still had some problems with that extra page being included after each print job. It no longer had any garbage/postscript stuff on it but what a waste of paper. I finally tracked the problem down to the "/etc/apsfilterrc.ljet4" file. I had to uncomment out the following line: PRINT_RAW_SUPPRESS_FORMFEED="yes" Tony -- Anthony.Schlemmer@gte.net - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
