Hello,

In one of the linux 8.0 machine, not able to print properly, It just prints junk character in the 1st 2 lines with heading adobe 2.0 and then a blank page..and this will repeat for atleast 3 to 4 pages for a single page prints.

I am using lp format.

hi,

did u try configuring the printer as a post script printer?

what is the driver you are using?

fire redhat-config-printer and set the correct options.

ps: linux 8.0? we are all still with linux 2.4.x and may be some adventurous ones with 2.5.X. where did u manage to get linux 8.0? dont confuse the distribution name (yours is redhat i guess) with the linux kernel.

Hi Balaji,

Thanks for the quick response and sorry....it is RedHat linux 8.0 not linux 8.0.

Right now i am using postscript - hpijs driver for HP PSC 950 printer.(This is a all-in-one USB printer)

But only one time it printed - test page....!

Any clue..?

but did u save the changes and apply them / restart lpd for the changes to work.

and if it works once, it should work.
