1) Your are doing better than me. I have a local
hp4050 loaded to the max with memory.
The best I have gotten (out of 8 beta 3) is "1" blank
test page (during install configuration success test -
not even a single drop of toner). Even to get that I
had to I eject the page manually at the printer
keypad.
2)I believe the key is what you said before about all
the apps printing on one page. My wild guess is that
cuip is sending junk in the set-up before the
application ever gets a chance.
3) Note: It is NOT the printer. And, I do not think it
is the apps generating wrong postscript. When I move
the parallel cable over to my other linux box (not
Mandrake) running bsd style lpr - everything and
application works just fine(even the jobs coming from
samba). Also, why would it be the app if I am having
trouble at the test stage of set up?
4) I am not much help now because I reloaded plain 8b3
tonight with 95% of the services turned on. Now I can
not boot - just crash and burn :(. Will try again
later in the week when I have some spare time.
