The print only at the top of the page sounds like the printer is not getting or not interpreting a carriage return at the end of the line. We had the same problem on our Sun system with HP printers. Are you sending the printout through a script before going to the device?

Hola all - So, I've tried the various options outlined here & in other related email, but our setup is failing consistently. What happens is this: I can setup a printer, B009A for example, in CUPS or as an lp printer, doesn't seem to matter. Linux (RH 3.5) printing is fine, test are all ok & lp from the bash line are good as well, output is dandy. When printed from the TCL prompt like this: SP-ASSIGN F24 (and the printer B009A has form 24 loaded up) COPY CRIT PTEST (P I get good output. But when I try to print from within local PICK programs, which work fine on our hopefully-soon-to-be-replaced-if-I-can-fix-this-issue Irix system, nothing, they disappear entirely. My spooler log shows: P Print PR24 2 528 UniVerse 24 06/07/2005 18:49:51 lpstat is clear, but no output. The only exception to this is when I have the printer setup as a RAW printer, in which case I do get output but it is incomplete -- a few boxes are drawn & a small amount of text is output at the top of the page. My programmer assures me he's doing nothing odd with the printing, and I believe him (can post some code here if that will help, I need to find the explicit printing code first) but damned if I can think of anything else going on. Again, all jobs are properly logged in my spooler log files but no output. ANY hints/thoughts/ideas greatly appreciated. Peter Stu Glancy wrote: > You need to setup &DEVICE& by edit or uv admin.
