OSF Printcap entries for HP and Tek printers

We are setting-up a Pathworks LAN server on an OSF/1 v3.x alpha server.
We have the Pathworks 5.0e server running with 5.1 clients, but are having
some problems with OSF printcap entries for non-DEC PostScript printers.
When printing to an HP-LaserJet 4 PS printer from a PC there are a couple of
hp instructions at the beginning of the file that are not correctly
interpreted and end up on the first couple of lines of the printout.
These lines do not appear when the file is written to a file and the file is
printed from OSF. Our printers are setup as serial LAT devices on DECServers.
Any help or examples of printcap entries would be appreciated. We also have
Tektronics phaser II color printers and would be interested in any info for
connecting them as well.


The opinions expressed here are strictly my own, unless they are not.
