Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Printer Problems

[Chris G. <dj_...@ti...>]

Hi, I think I understand what you're saying. The printer is an old HP
Laserjet 4 on LPT1. I'm not quite sure why it thinks the 2 are different as
windows is using the same driver for both instances. Is there any way to
make this work??

Hi Chris,

The problem is that Windows sends not PS (postscript) data to the printer
but if you print the document to a file it will be exactly PS.
It's an assumption only because I know nothing about your printer.
