Hello,
We recently upgraded from DU3.2d to 3.2f on most of our servers
and it seems that since this move we have had problems with HP
laserjetIII's and IIId's. First of all I was wondering if there is an
actual difference to these 2 printers that would make their printcap
entries different or would they both go through the same filter. We had
them going through 2 different filters before the move and they all
printed fine, now it seems only 1 or 2 work and the rest don't. It looks
like if you send anything more than a 4 page document it will print the
first 4 pages and not the rest. The printer goes back online and looks as
if it has printed all pages. Below is the printcap entries for 2 HP's,
one works and the other doesn't
This print entry does not work - If you send 8 jobs from unix it will print
3. If you send a 5 page or more document from Windows it will print 4
pages and that's it.
