- 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,
