We have just upgraded our Color Station to 3.0, connected to a print buffer device (routes to a number of printers), and then to an HP LaserJet III with a Pacific Page PostScript Cartridge. It simply does not work. I get an error panel saying that the PostScript image was not completed. In the /usr/adm/lpd-errs file, I get a message like this: Jan 21 18:00:45 lucas Server:lucas_printer[219]: lucas:jerry - start Jan 21 18:00:54 lucas Server:lucas_printer[219]: PostScript error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: lettertray Jan 21 18:00:54 lucas Server:lucas_printer[219]: Status: [Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: lettertray] Jan 21 18:00:55 lucas Server:lucas_printer[219]: Print job aborted My best guess is that in version 3.0, the printer driver has to wait for some info from the printer telling it what kind of tray it is using, and that message is getting eaten up by the print buffer device (which it should not). Any other ideas out there? It would help me to know that somebody else had no problem setting up a HP LaserJet III directly to a serial port as well. Thanks in advance, Nader xns@nwu.edu
