I've got my 4 MB A310 running RiscOS 3.10 connected to a Facit P7150
laser printer via the parallell port. This printer emulates the HP
LaserJet+ and has 2,5 MB of RAM. 

My problem is the following: When I print a document from Draw using
the HP LaserJet II driver in 300x300 dpi resolution directly to the
printer, the output is distributed over several pages.  This does not
happen if I print the document to file and therafter dump this file to
the printer. If I print the document in 150x150 dpi, everything works
fine. What is going on?

I also had the same problems using PrinterLJ 2.42 and 1.xx running
RiscOS 2.00. Is this a problem with my printer, my computer or RiscOS?

I think my printer is using CR+LF or LF+CR as line terminator.
This is configurable, but I haven't tested other configurations. I
have configured my A310 to 'no ignore'.

I now have MEMC1a, but with RiscOS 2.00 I had the original MEMC1.
