I also have an older printer an Epson Action Lazer 1500 which has no native *nix driver nor the full HPIIISi emmulation so I dropped back to straight HPIII and it works fine. It would be nice if we could decompile the winbloat drivers and convert them to *nix then we could open up the possibilitys for printing. CWSIV On Tue, 2004-03-16 at 16:41, Mike Roy wrote:
Hello everyone: Recently I had to reinstall everything on my linux box including WordPerfect 8 for linux. Once installed, I selected the actual printer [ HP LaserJet Series II (driver wp60hp01 ) but ran into a problem. While it was the correct printer, there would be an extra blank page at the end of every print job. A two-page document ended up with three pieces of paper. Multiple print jobs ( 10 copies of a three-page document = 31 pieces of paper ) gave the same results. However, when I selected a different printer and a different driver, the problem was solved - no more extra blank pages. The printer I picked that now works properly is a
HP LaserJet IID Postscript ( driver wp60ps01 )
So, if you have this problem, you might try selecting a different printer from the same manufacturer. Make sure the driver is different or the problem will persist. Hope this helps. Cheers, Mike
