What kind of document is it? If you'd post the entry in printcap
for the printer you're using, that might help as well. I believe there
are two or three queues typically accessible via LPD on most HP printers,
one for ansi, another for PostScript. I forget their names... More info
will be necessary.
One thing I will tell you - I just tried setting up
a queue for an 1100 for the first time on our OpenVMS cluster using the
DCPS printer driver. DCPS usually has no problems communicating with any
kind of HP printer, but I just -could not- make it work with the 1100. Not
sure if it was the silly little tcp/ip dongle->usb connector hanging off
of the printer or what. We spent a week thrashing on it and then told the
user to get another printer - perhaps a 4000 series. That was the first
time I've ever had to do that with an HP printer. (Well, a PostScript-capable
HP printer, anyhow). It usually takes me a day at most to make DCPS work
with a new HP model we've never printed to before. Usually more like a
half-hour.
Not sure if that has anything to do with your problems, but we were
getting similar wierdo problems with some jobs going thru fine, some jobs
hanging after a couple ten or hundred Kb. -Perhaps- the same thing you're
seeing(?), although we comm to the printers via raw socket-> port 9100,
rather than LPD like you're doing.
