- Hi Folks!
- I need some informations how to print PCL-files on a HP LaserJet 3 si which is
- connected to an HP 9000/835 with HP-UX 8.0 .
- The printer is installed with the PCL4 modelfile. I tried to print the file
- using the raw Option ( lp -dlaser3si -oraw filename.pcl) which produced one
- page with 1/2 inch of the picture I want to print and a lot of blank pages
- afterwards. The PCL-file was produced from a PostScript Picture which was
- converted to HP-PCL using GhostScript.
- It is possible to print the PostScript picture on this printer but it takes about
- 20 minutes. As these pictures (satelite pictures) should be available as soon as
- possible, 20 minutes are just to long. If I print this PCL-picture from a PC it
- works just fine and takes about 1 1/2 minutes.
-
- Any hint would be appreciated.
- Thank you in advance.
- Andreas
