Any ideas on how to > investigate? Um,... try choosing a different driver, one of the ones that Cups provides, or one of the foomatic drivers, and see how they work. Or try a generic PCL or PostScript driver and see what happens. If the printer is receiving the PS and is choking on it, it may be that you could avoid that by using one of its other "personalities", e.g. PCL3/PCL5/whatever instead (as mentioned above). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message.
