hi,
The first thing to try is to save a sample file (change lp -> lp=/tmp/test.ps)
and see if it look like something usefull IF NOT its a filter problem.
Second is to send the file direcly to the printer lpr -P [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And see what happens.

sytems and Solaris 9 machines.
Recently the print jobs from the SUN machines are casuing problems.The
print jobs go to the printer but nothing gets prinited.The job appears on
the printer but nothing prints.
Folloing is the printcap file for one of the printers,

I am not sure why this is happening. We have HP 8100s and 8150.
