I use AIX (IBM Unix) and print the PCL files via lp adding the -o -dp switches to bypass the print formatter and send the data stream directly to the printer. If I do not do this the print formatter wants to mangle my output (wrapping lines inappropriately, etc). Is there a similar switch in SCO? As a test, perhaps you could try copying the file directly to the device (/dev/whatever) if allowed. I would almost be willing to bet that the problem is something along the way and not the printer itself. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

An argument to lp was necessary as you suspected. The argument to use in SCO unix is -o raw. This seems to circumvent some process that would otherwise not be able to handle the input, possibly a formatter as you suggested.

What is the model of the printer? I have just searched through the HP PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual and I could not find any reference to a line length limit. I also searched the HP website for this error and could not find any references related to laserjets. In PCL, line terminators (CR and/or LF) should only be used for cursor positioning. They do not function as command delimiters. True, as long as they do not interupt a PCL command sequence it should not be a problem, since the PCLRenderer currently uses explicit positioning for each word. But it should not be necessary. Also each page should end with a Form Feed character, which typically would also serve as a line terminator. Unless each page is real complex, I would expect a modern printer to have adequate memory to hold an entire page in memory without difficulty. Is there anything unusual about what is being printed that is encountering this error (page filled with really tiny text or lots of graphic stuff, etc)? FWIW, we have printed many multi-megabyte PCL files produced by FOP without any problems (to a variety of printers). One of our customers is currently generating PCL files from FOP that are greater than 2 GB in size. Art - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The printer model is HP Laserjet 8100 DN. I am using FOP in SCO unix and simply using the command lp to send it. I get a page that says line too long. I've been using version 20.2 of fop. The file I've been trying to send is the example file provided with the distribution called xslfoRef.xml after it's been transformed by xml2pdf.xsl. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
