Re: HP LaserJet Series II and Debian Linux
Mike:
I am wondering, how much ram is in your LJIII? I think maybe I am hitting the top of
my printer's physical memory. I don't know how much it has, I just picked it up in
an HP refurb shop for $65. Do you know if there is anyway to make the lpd spool the
data in such a way that it won't send more than my printer can fit into ram at one
time? (I thought that's what the filter was for, but obviously not....) The printer
works liek a champ is <gasp> Windows </gasp>, but gosh darnit, I'd like to print my
stuff out in linux...
Thanks for your help.
