- My 8/105 workstation is connected (via serial A) to an HP LaserJet IIIp
- printer using a "Turboscript III" postscript emulation cartridge. This
- cartridge is supposedly 100% compatible with Level 1 Adobe postscript. I've
- tried a variety of PrintManager and printcap settings, but can't seem to get
- the printer to work. I did get one page printed from mail o.k., but couldn't
- repeat it, and had no luck printing from other applications. I've used
- printcaps for LJIII, LaserWriter, etc., checked the usage notes, NextAnswers
- and FAQs, all to no avail. Sometimes the printer will give me an "Err: 34,
- flushing" error, which I don't understand. I did try saving some output as
- EPS, transferred it to my PC, and printed it from my PC with no problems.
- However this workaround won't work very well on a regular basis.
-
- Does anyone have any clue what might be wrong?
-
- Any suggested modifications to printcap or PrintManager?
-
- Does anyone have experience with this printer and a different font cartridge?
- What cartridge do you use? Could this be a cartridge problem?
-
- Please respond directly by mail. Thanks in advance for your advice.
