Subject: [9fans] HP Laserjet III printer
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 15:16:02 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44CD9212.4050208@exemail.com.au> (raw)

Have been trying to get this printer going with no success. Had a look
at the Luther/Rattan correspondence (Plan9 and laser printer) but found
no help there. I've fiddled about with /sys/lib/lp/devices without
success (or even knowing much about what I'm doing!)
The printer is on the parallel port. If output is directed to pcclone,
going to /dev/lpt1data, the printer fires up OK but prints lots of pages
of nothing useful, mainly blank pages preceded by %!PS-Adobe-2.0, etc,
staggered across the first page. Presumably the driver is not correct.
Any help appreciated.
John
