Hi Folkes,

I am working with a client and we are trying to configure a printer to use
the envelope feeder.

The system is a new Alpha DS-25 running 5.1a. The printer is a HP Laserjet
4200.

I went to HP's website and found hp4200_6.ppd and placed it in /usr/lbin/ppd
with the same rights and ownership as the other files
in there.

The printcap entry is:
lp3|3:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/ppdof +OEnvelope +Chp4200_6.ppd:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp3err:\
        :lp=_at_LaserPrinter/hpjport:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/ppdof +OEnvelope +Chp4200_6.ppd:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#0:\
        :rw:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd3:\
        :sh:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:

Nothing is printing. Even when I remove the +OEnvelope from the printcap,
nothing is printing. I get a quick data light on the printer so I know it
is getting something. And I can print from the normal paper trays using the
HP4050 built in settings in lprsetup.

Any ideas? This is the first time I have fooled with a printer and ppdof.
All we want is to feed from the optional Envelope Feeder.

Thanks

Tim
