Are you using switches? If you turn off/on the printer will it work for a while? The switch could be dropping the port if there is no activity for a while. Try putting a hub between the switch and printer. If I think of anything else I'll post it.

You can not mix PostScript and PCL, they are different PDL's.

I believe you can move back and forth between PCL and PS using PJL on a per page basis in one job. Would this not work, its not pretty and I'm not positive about the resets. Unfortunatly I don't have access to my notes right now. <ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF> @PJL JOB<CR><LF> @PJL SET...

Your .prn file is the pdl langauge of the driver you used. If you used a PostScript driver, the contents of the file is PostScript. If it was a PCL or ESC-P driver then that is what the .prn constists of. Just as a test try using a different font. A good test would be to type the same line a...

No such luck. The unprintable area for the iR105 using PCL5e is 50 pixels per margin @ 300dpi. that works out to about 4.5 mm. You can not get less. You can not adjust the printer driver. Perhaps try the HP LJ 4000PCL driver for that particular application.

Is your router/gateway providing DNS? here are some notes on resolve.conf Directives(headers): nameserver - IP address in dot notation of the name server the resolver should use. domain - The local domain name. For use with short names in a local domain. search - search list for...

Of course you can do this, it's UNIX. How you do it differs on different flavours. I don't think you need to do a capture to print to a network printer. Find out what print service is running on the network printer and set your print subsystem to print direct. Post more details get more...

UnixWare and OpenServer are both from the evil SCO. UnixWare is for the desktop and OpenServer is the server OS. I have setup printers on both and UnixWare has a better print subsystem (IMHO). I do phone support for print subsystems for most of the UNIX flavours and would recommend that you...

Hi John, XP is looking for an inf defining your printer. Instead of clicking cancel when you boot, click next, go through the process and when nothing is found click finish. This will add a question mark to the device manager but the printer will work fine and it won't ask for anything the...

what services are running on the printer?

Sounds like you have the wrong queue name. Also, I would recommend that you don't use the Standard TCP/IP port. It has caused all kinds of errors. Use the LPR port that comes with the OS but is not installed by default. Windows is not my strong point but I think it is under add windows...

isn't netcat cross platform? If you have hpnp on the printers this would work well.

Well since each UNIX flavor has a different print subsystem I'd say your going to have fun. I have replaced many print subsystems with CUPS for a common interface across platforms. http://www.cups.org/

Yeah, I have heard of it. One was just a print server that did acoounting. One printed to another that had the PDL it needed. And it used to happen all the time with shared printers.

Photoshop should have it or you may be able to find a plugin that does it better. Search for tiling.
