- I am looking for help with properly setting up the printcap file for
- an HP LaserJet III (hplj) printer to a Sun 4 running SunOS 4.1.1.
-
- We are also running PC-NFS V3.5 (pc's running dos 5.0/windows 3.0) and
- we are not able to print any graphics files to the hplj printer which
- is connected to the Sun. I have set up PC-NFS on the PC's so that
- "raw" data is sent to the Sun. WordPerfect, and MS Powerpoint files
- are not printing correctly, even though the print drivers on the PC
- are current.
-
- If anyone has had experience with setting up PC-NFS running windows,
- wordperfect etc... and trying to print to an hplj printer, I would
- appreciate the help. I'm looking for the source code to any required
- filter's too, or let me know where I can aquire them, or what is
- required for the HP and Sun to properly print the files from the
- PC's through PC-NFS. I currently have some examples of printcap
- files from our local Sun rep, but I'm really courious if anyone has
- ever tried this type of setup.
-
- Direct replies would be appreciated and I will post what setup works etc.
-
- Thanks in advance.
