I'm in a bit of a bind and wonder if there is anybody out there who can
help me. I'm trying to get an HP LaserJet IIP with PostScript cartridge
to talk to a Sun SLC but am encountering problems with them. Even without
the intervening system software (like filters and drivers, lpd etc.) and
'cat'ing a raw PostScript file directly to the printer all that seems to
happen is the led starts blinking and the display says 'PS busy' and
that's it. It never comes back and I have to reset it. When I try to use
a driver (I'm trying to use the LWkit Laserwriter driver, heh, PostScript
is PostScript right ? :-) the driver behaves as if the printer is
alternative between busy and idle states. No luck there. I realize that
this printer requires a ^D at the end of the PostScript file. I've
manually inserted it and sent the raw file down the ttya but again to no
avail. I'm supposed to have got this thing out the door by yesterday so
any help would be much appreciated. Please mail directly to me and I'll
post a summary if I get a solution.

Thanks.
