Ya, I hear you all groaning now :) Since I'm no expert at this, been a long time since I was a unix sysadmin, I need assistance with the filters needed for this printer. I have successfully printed plain text on the HP from the directly connected system sort of. An lptest > /dev/lpt0 gets me a sheet of paper with a single line printed on it. Obvisouly not what it's supposed to generate. Anyone with a filter or an adequate printcap definition for this (or just about any PCL) printer I would really appreciate an email copy. In addition, is there any special setup required to get the appropriate conversion from a Win95 print job to the printer via Samba? -- Al
