- Yeah, you're right. I was just at the end of my rope at that point and
- really didn't want to look back at the logs. I got part of it working, though,
- with the help of Kelly Price (thanks!) who explained what the fonts file
- and procset are.
-
- The mac now sees the printer and sends the file off to the sparc (IPC, 4.1.2)
- and then it gets forwarded to the other sparc (2, 4.1.1) where it sits in the
- queue for a few seconds and then disappears. Apparently the file has no
- line delimiters in it and the transcript filter drops it. The printer log
- file shows:
-
-
- >Input line longer than 255 characters; only first 255 characters significant!
- >%%[ Error: invalidaccess; OffendingCommand: setdefaulttimeouts ]%%
- >%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

- The printer is an HP LaserJet III with an HP LaserJet Postscript cartridge
- in it.
-
- Should it be pumped through a different filter? Papif does not appear
- to be the right thing. According to the man page it is used if the
- printer is on an appletalk network. Is there something in the transcript
- filter that can be adjusted? Am I way out in left field?
-
- Thanks,
- Tom
