I recently got a printer from someone who wasnt using it. He lost all the manuals but claims the printer used to work correctly under win 95/98. The printer is an HP LaserJet IIP (Plus). Now here is the problem I get: I tried setting up apsfilter and magicfilter, using the filter ljet2p, ljet2plo and ljet2plus, I tried lpr and lprng, and each time I get exactly the same error: the text prints out correctly but is output 4 times! Another strange thing: if I try using it via samba from a windoze box (using the printer 'raw', thus without filter), I get only one page, then 4 blank pages. This is better but still annoying. Is there a known catch with using this kind of printer under linux? Did anyone get one working correctly? Or did anyone experience a similar problem with another printer. Thank you, -Lex PS: Please cc to me
