- I have an old HP LaserJet 2686A that I am trying to get to print from a SparcIPC, and
- I am having this pesky problem. I have tried many things (both conventional and weird) in
- the printcap file, and nothing seems to be working. Here's the problem: it is willing to
- print out the first page asked of it, but it will only print out the first couple lines.
- Not only that, but it prints those lines way off to the right side of the page. All other
- pages come out blank until I restart /usr/lib/lpd, after which it will once again print a
- few lines off to the right of the first page, followed by all blanks.
-
- HP tech and printer support have been unable to help me (they suggested I check the
- DIP switches, which were all set correctly). If you have a system like this set up, or know
- what black magic I must weave to get it to work, I would be most grateful to share in your
- wisdom. Thanks.
