Dear friends:
I have a HP laserjet series II that I just connected to my RH 6.0 box. Kernel
has not been modified or recompiled (just as out from the box). I have set the
input filter as laserJet IId/IIp/III* with TIFF compression, which is described
as "Driver for the Laserjet II series printer". Printing options were set as
follows: -Send EOF after job to eject page.
-Fix stair stepping text.
-Fast text printing (non-PS printers only).
-Suppress Headers.
Problem is that when I try printing postscript to my printer, it prints like
washed to the left side. It looks just like a code bar sticker. Some text can
be read from this printout, but letters got cut as in slices and each slice
slides a little bit from the one under and over it.
Here is what I have done so far:
*I used lptest | lpr to test the hardware. Worked fine.
*I issued the command ls -a > lpr. Printing quality is fine, but I get an
output as follows:
0m01;34m.0m
01;34m..0m
0m.Beirute.index0m
0m.C++.index0m
0m.VIM.index0m
[...]
And all following files print with a 0m just before the filename and a 0m just
after it. Some files have a different code rather than 0m, such as
01;34m.xauth0m. I then made the printout to a file. Using "less" to look at the
file, I get the same weird codes. Using "more" to look at the files, I see the
output I want, just the plain filenames with no codes.
*I went back to printtool, and tried printing the test pages. ASCII test page
worked fine. PS test page print blurred int the way I described before. I tried
printing a kmail message, and printout was blurred just as PS.
*I read that on some printers you have to use the headers, so I tried
deselecting the "supress headers option". Printer did not print in ASCII
nor in PS.
*I tried using the HP LaserJet filter instead than the HP LaserJet IId/.. , and
ASCII printed fine, kmail printout was fine, and PS printed, BUT, after the 1/3
of the PS test page was printed, page was ejected, and I got an "ERROR" message
in the printer display. I pushed the "continue" button, and the next 1/3 of the
page was printed, and page was ejected again, and got another "ERROR" message
appeared. After pressing the "continue" button once more, the last third of the
page was printed. Then I got PS with an excellent print quality, but 1/3rd of
the printout on a different page.
*I tried the printer with a Win98 box, and Word documents and graphs printed
fine.
*I tried printing a PS page from Ghostview within Linux, and printing locked.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
-Manuel.
