 Print issues with JetDirect and OpenServer Hi, I installed a 3-port HP JetDirect 500x Ethernet print server on OpenServer 5.05 the other day. For starters, we're using two printers - on port one, a dot matrix. On port two, a deskjet. Two problems: 1) While the dot matrix has no such problem, the deskjet refuses to do "carriage return-new lines", effectively blanking all but the first line or two of print output. The inteface script is generic for "HPNP", so I'm not sure where, or what, needs to be added to fix... 2) Under Windows, I once knew how to fool a DOS program into thinking it was printing to the physical LPT1 port by somehow naming the printer "LPT1". I'd like to do this, if still possible, under Windows 98. Thanks for your help. David      |

And you are asking on a Unix newsgroup? Well, OK :-) Capture the port and redirect it to a real printer (that's in your printer properties).
