Well, I have figured out the problem, and I mis-interpreted the symptoms.
My files will print fine to a LJII, but screw up on a LJIII. I thought that
the PCL stuff was compatible. BTW, I'm printing output from Gnuplot 2.0 pl 2
with the hpljii driver.
Does anyone know why the LJIII should have trouble?
Thanks,
Mat
