Hi everyone,

Hopefully someone out there will have the wisdom that I currently lack:
I have set up my HP DeskJet 400 with the Printtool utility.  I have
chosen the correct Filter, know that it is set-up on the correct port
(lp0).

When I try and print anything from Netscape I get this on the printout:
Unrecoverable error:rangecheck in .putdeviceprops
		(1488)op_array(486)0x817b0cc:E

When I try something like cat foo.txt > /dev/lp0
It prints the first line, then the second, with stair stepping effect,
and then just feeds blandk pages through the printer.  I have ensured
that I have enabled the fix stair stepping in the printtool utility.

Any help would be appreciated (BTW below is my Printcap file.
Regards,
Andrew
