This is normal for printers that have insufficient RAM for the resolution that is being output. HP's are notorious for arriving without enough RAM to do full page graphic output. The first time a user tries this, he/she gets identical results and complains that the printer or computer is not working. You have two options. 1) Use a CUPS setting that employs HP/GL. HPGL is a "vector" language (somewhat like postscript) which "describes" the page to the printer instead of sending a bitmap image to it. This means that you can print with far less memory in the printer and still get high res output. However even with HP/GL you will at times have similar results when printing graphic images. 2) The better solution is to upgrade the RAM in the printer to a minimum which is 1.5 times the largest page you'll print. My HP4 Plus came with 2 megs of RAM. I upgraded it to 10Megs to get decent output. My HP1200C came with 2 megs of RAM. I upgraded it to 6megs just to do full page output. This is a "gotcha" from the manufacturer. A way of pulling in a few extra dollars while keeping the cost of the initial sale down. -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Vic Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2001 4:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] More problems as if I did not have enough Stupid printer again I could just throw it out the dang window.
