Hi, Recently I bought a HP laserjet 1200. I connected the printer to my Suse Box and used the "laserjet" printer driver. I tried to print with Staroffice and it worked. I'm running Samba on this Linux Box and wanted to print on my laserjet with a win98 client. When I saw the output of my Word document on the printer there were 3 pages instead of one and all giving me this strange information about postscript... Can anyone help me with this??? Thanks...

Are you using the correct driver on windows?? Best regards, Bart
Be sure to connect to the "raw" variant of the printer. You are using
aps2filter aren't you?
HTH,
