The reported symptoms sounds as if you purchased a host-based printer...a printer with no inherent support for PCL. At this time UniVerse/Windows is not supporting these new printers.
Warning.new host-based printers are hitting the main stream with attractive pricing.they are not compatible with PCL printing. These printers are ideal for Windows application printing ONLY. Resolution/Information: Attach the printer to another Windows based PC on the same network, share the printer and on the UniVerse system create a new local printer that points to the shared printer by name, \\<computername>\<sharename>. We have made these printers print this way through another PC. Printers purchased for printing must have inherent support for PCL code. Host-based printers today will not accept PCL code. Host-based printers rely on the computer's CPU to do the rasterization of the pages. Host-based printers are lower-cost printers that place a greater demand on the host processor than traditional printers. Traditional, non-host-based printers, accept a command language from the computer, such as PostScript and PCL, and perform the rasterization internally. They may be slightly more expensive but perform the rasterization function within the printer and therefore do not rely on the host system to do their work. A short list we have gathered so far... A list of non-supported host-based printers are HP LaserJet 1500 HP LaserJet 2600n HP LaserJet 3500 HP LaserJet 3550 Supported non-host based printers are HP Color LaserJet 3700 HP LaserJet 2430tn HP LaserJet 4250n HP LaserJet 4240n HP LaserJet 4610n Paul H. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Louis Windsor Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2006 11:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] Help with non functional printer I have the Personal Edition (V10.1.11) installed on Windows XP Professional and had printing working on a printer on the printer port. I installed a new printer on a USB port and "shared" it as UVDEFAULT just like the old printer. I removed the old printer and made the new one default etc. Now when I print (spool) from UV it goes through the motions but nothing actually prints. No error messages from UV or Windows. Help Please! What am I doing wrong? Or what am I not doing right? Louis PS my expertise was on UniVerse on Unix. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
