a while back, I had this problem that printing a particular pdf file always hands HP 4000N printer. failed with LPRng and windows TCP/IP direct print.
on a 4100 printer (32 MB), this same pdf file failed on half way during the print. so I have to tell the user start again from where it left. I suspect it has to do with what kind of printer u have. if interested, i still have a copy of the file. http://www.econ.yorku.ca/~qiang/atomless.pdf Qiang. --- John Perkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 09 Apr 2004 09:40:21 -0400 > Rick Cochran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My observations on this problem when it surfaced here: > > - HP printers are worst for this.
