It sounds like a flow control problem to me. Our 5400 generally uses DTR handshaking on serial lines, and if you don't have your printer configured to do DTR handshaking then it will drop portions of a document when the printer buffers overflow. Try configuring the LaserJet with DTR handshaking, or set it up for XON/XOFF and then use "stty ixon </dev/<printer tty>" (I hope that's right) to enable XON/XOFF on that tty. -- Steve VanDevender stevev@greylady.uoregon.edu "Bipedalism--an unrecognized disease affecting over 99% of the population. Symptoms include lack of traffic sense, slow rate of travel, and the classic, easily recognized behavior known as walking."
