Hello.

I have compiled and installed ifhp 3.5.7 under Solaris 2.6 (and +) and found
quickly a big trouble with the way it runs with Tektronix Phaser 5xx/8xx
printers.

In fact the trouble comes from the fact that this version insists on using pjl
code for everything (pagecount, sync, display message) even if these printers
do not use (and provide) it as noted in ifhp.conf.

Using ifhp 3.5.2 works fine under the same configuration, even the same
ifhp.conf.

Unfortunately, these printers do NOT like at all receiving such characters and
you have to reboot them...

Extract of status log file:
>>
(of) using model 'phaser740' at 12:11:12.370
(of) pagecount using 'pjl info pagecount' at 12:11:12.430
(of) setting up printer at 12:11:12.431
(of) starting OF mode passthrough at 12:11:12.511
(of) getting sync using 'pjl echo' at 12:11:12.512
(of) printer not detected, trying again at 12:11:32.510
>>

later, with more debug:
>>
(of) Process_job: starting OF mode passthrough at 13:38:26.963
(of) Start_of_job: do_pagecount 0, ps 0, pjl 0 at 13:38:26.964
(of) Do_sync: sync is '0' at 13:38:26.964
...
(of) Start_of_job: doing 'init' at 13:38:27.030
(of) Start_of_job: doing pjl at 13:38:27.030
(of) Pjl_job: Pjl 1, flag 1 at 13:38:27.031
(of) Pjl_job: final = '@PJL RESET
>>

Submitted jobs do not contain any PJL commands as they came from Windows/Adobe
driver which have been modified.

Regards
