This is the second time I have sent this query, but have received no response. If nobody can help with it, I apologize for troubling the group with it. I am hoping that someone with insight into it overlooked it, thus the explicit appeal in the subject line. I won't send it again, of course, if nothing hapens this time. The problem that surfaced a couple of weeks ago, after the printer had been installed for months, and had been working well all that time. The printer is Brother HL-1250. It is on the network, connected through a H-P 175x external print server. The problem is that when I send it a print job, the job gets to the printer, the printer comes out of its standby mode and warms up, and sheets of paper come feeding out, but the job is not properly printed. Instead, there is only a bit of printing at the top before the page is ejected, following which another page comes out with the same printing at the top, and this can go on forever, or until I turn the printer off. The printing at the top is like so: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%BoundingBox: 0 0 420 595 %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 419.55 595.25 (I have compressed this horizontally, in order to avoid breaking lines. Actually, each of the second and third segments begins only just below the ending of the segment above, so that it is all spread across the top of the page.) I do not know why it speaks of Adobe 3.0. That has to be a remnant from something from long-ago in another OS. The CUPS page for this printer shows that this printer is: "idle, accepting jobs, published." The CUPS error log for the printing attempt is as follows: I [14/Feb/2008:20:12:28 +0200] Adding start banner page "none" to job 7. I [14/Feb/2008:20:12:28 +0200] Adding end banner page "none" to job 7. I [14/Feb/2008:20:12:28 +0200] Job 7 queued on "Brother" by "stan".

HylaFAX is not present at all on the machine, although it was for a time. The problem began well before I ever downloaded HylaFAX. Printing was fine until a few weeks ago. I do not remember anything that has happened since related to the printer or to printing.
