This problem has now been solved. As hinted in Jim Van Sickler's post, it was a matter of passing print-jobs to the appropriate filter on the OS X (CUPS) side. For the HP LaserJet 1100, that filter seems to be HP Laserjet 4L, CUPS+Gimp-Print v4.25 (or at any rate that one works). I had mistakenly assumed that print-jobs sent from other machines to a print-queue on the print-server would be sent through the filter defined for that queue on the server side. But evidently that is wrong. The filtering, it seems, must be done on the client side. In any case: all now works well and I'm grateful to all who offered help, Jim ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRng MAILING LIST The address you post from or your Reply-To address 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.
