You rock the linux/DeskJet 932C world! I don't care what you say about your scripting skills! :) That's mostly initial excitement over the fact that this is the first time I sent a print job to my 932C and got what I hoped instead of "%!PS-Adobe-1.0 . . . ". This doesn't mean I'm completely in

configure the local HP deskjet 932C. It doesn't seem to do anything particular concerning a PCL only printer and, with no real surprise, fails just the same as the printcap I've come up with on my own. Thanks for the suggestion. Paul -- Paul Yeatman (858) 534-9896[EMAIL PR

PCL only printer

2004-02-19 Thread Paul Yeatman
Hi, I recently inherited an HP Deskjet 932C printer. Apparently this only uses the PCL printer language. As I need to be able to print postscript for this to be of much use to me, I've been struggling to make this happen. I'm running stable Debian using lprng and ifhp as printer software. Accord
