yes I did. I received a first answer, but it was totally useless and
clearly nonsense -- they told me to look for a better driver: for a
HPLJIIIp, better for archaeology than for computing! So I replied,
saying something like: please send me a real answer, not this rubbish
-- no answer at this stage...

tried it, no change.

It seems to me that the clue must be in that "broken pipe" message. Why
a broken pipe?

 lpr -Pprinter1 ~/moglie.txt
 Dec  1 12:19:15 pentiumiii lpr printer1: remote host
 pentiumiii.miarete: illegal ack code '$„@': Pipe rotta
 Your print job has been sent to printer 'printer1', job 2, rank:
 2nd.
 "Pipe rotta" is the Italian for "broken pipe".

is there still hope?
