Check the settings on the printer itself. There's some kind of setting for input type (don't remember the exact name, don't have one of these printers). Make sure it is set correctly - either to postscript or (possibly) to auto, depending on what all generates jobs.
(One of the sites we support recently had the opposite problem - this had gotten set to postscript, when many jobs were PCL/PJL, and so nothing at all came out. I connected (with telnet) to port 9100 and sent some text, got PS errors coming back at me, and had someone on site look through the printer configuration for anything that looked relevant. That's what we came up with. Setting it to auto worked, for us.) -- - Dave Lovelace [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Uwe Dippel wrote: > > I've been using this printer as JetDirect successfully for some 2 years. > Recently I moved to Debian (Sid), where Lprng is available. > > With Lprngtool I could set and activate the other printers, but not that > LaserJet 5N for Postscript (ASCII-testpage is okay). > > Under the RedHat Print-tool I had set the printer to > LaserJet 5P; with ljet4 as driver. > > In Lprngtool, I tried several other settings, like hp5m, hp5p, hp5l, > hp4l (the 5N is not mentioned in Lprngtool); without success (always a > lot of pages is spewed out of the printer with some > &!PS-Adobe-2.0 > %%Title: testpage-a4.fig > on the first page.) > > Finally, I found the ljet4 back as pcl_gs: > > "HP Laserjet 4 PCL only printer, Generic PCL 5 Use Ghostscript (device > ljet4) for PostScript support" > > Unfortunately, this driver does *not* work, neither ! > > Any hint how to make it print will be appreciated ! > > Uwe Dippel > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST > The address you post from MUST be your subscription address > > If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests > or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
