hello,
we have a Alpha worktation 255 running DU4.0B, and a HPLaserJet 4vc
connected to the parallel port of the AS255.

days ago I can print PS file on that printer using a input filter
hplaser4psof (or something like that, I forget it). For some other
reasons, the DU4.0 was reinstalled on this machine, and after
reconfiging the network, the printer, etc., the machine works well
except that it no longer can print PS file and plain text as well.

in this case, I have to change the printcap, when using the hplaserof
as "of", lpf as "if", the printer can print plain text, but not ps.
 
to deal with PS, I change "of " and "if" as hplaserpsof, or hplaser4psof,
ln30rof, ps_level2of, but none of them can work.

after a long time waitting, the printer
gives many pages each with a text line (the contents of postscript
language), sometimes just white pages, and worsely
it will not stop giving these pages, you have to turn off the power
of the printer!

my printcap:

lp0|0|lp|hplj4vc:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lp0acct:\
        :br#9600:\
        :ct=dev:\
        :fc#0177777:\
        :fs#023:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp0err:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd0:\
        :sh:\
        :xc#0177777:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
        :xs#044000:

this is so upset problem, bring many troubles to me.
and it is so urgent that my boss order me to recover it.

any commentswill be very appreciated.
I will be waitting for your kind response aside.

sincerely yours
liu shengli
