Attempted with the printcap entry exactly as given below. Unfortunately the job hangs indefinetly(ie reported as "stalled") and I must resort to removing the job. Here is the status file : (of) using model 'hp8000' at 09:01:22.096 (of) pagecount using 'pjl info pagecount' at 09:01:22.098 (of) setting up printer at 09:01:22.098 (of) starting OF mode passthrough at 09:01:22.098 As beore the status.deslz file is attached. I presume if I had the HP provided network interface this wouldn't be an issue ? Unfortunately we still(up to next year) must have vines drivers requiring the extendnet box ...
