To All Helpers:

We are running Ultrix 4.3 using printcap for printer control file.

We are in the process of phasing out LAT protocol with TCP/IP protocol
devices.

Currently, the LG02 is using LAT protocol to print and the printcap file
example is like following:

lpr132|lp10|10:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lp10acct:\
        :ct=lat:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp10err:\
        :lp=/dev/tty06:\
        :br#9600:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/lg02of:\
        :op=LG:\
        :os=:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#210:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd10:\
        :ts=HUSAM:\
        :xf=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/lg02of:

I am testing using HP JetDirect 300X print server to print to LG02 and I
have run into following problems:
1. For every print job, the first thing the printer prints is 2G then the
content of the print file.
     For example, if I use date | lpr -P lpr132 , I will get
     2GThu Jan  7 12:36:23 CST 1999
2. When I print a file with more than one line, for example /etc/hosts
file, the printer will print the content
     like followings
     2G@ Host Database
                                              #
                           127.0.0.1           localhost
                                         128.1.50.2          fbat

3. I seems can not get the big banner print before each job any more.  The
only print I get for banner is the
tiny print with User, host, class and job info at end of print job, it does
 not even do the form feed before
print the banner out.

 I have called HP Tech Support and they told me that the LG02 has problem
to understand the code
the JetDirect 300X sends it and it is not going to work with LG02 printer.

I just wonder anybody having successfully experience with hooking up LG02
to HP JetDirect server.
If you do have good result, could you please share me your printcap entry
and let me know how you get
it configured?

Thanks in advance,
