4L – retain defaults?
Message #272800
[Reply to message #222629, which is no longer available] To reset your defaults, you need to write a small script in PJL and have your AUTOEXEC.BAT file copy it the the printer. Unfortunately, I don't have all of the PJL variable values but you should be able to get them…
Blank Page Printing
Message #272798
I've been getting blank pages with small formatting commands at the beginning of my print jobs. It started out as just one blank page and now is several. This problem is only coming from one of my workstations on a Novell 3.12 Network. And it only happens from Windows applications.…
Printer/Cable Error
Message #272796
I checked the version on my status monitor, it is v2.1. Apparently, there is still a problem in the later version. I sent a message to Annie Baxter telling her that my version still had the problems. Thanks for your suggestion, if I hear anything new, I'll let you know.

LAser 4MV & HPGL files
Message #272789
I'm trying to print either IBM-GL or HPGL2 files to a HP LaserJet 4MV connected to the parellel port of a IBM RS6000 (a unix box) The printer prints the file as text! In my virtual print queue definition the printer is sent the following initialization string: %I[pU]%?%G_j%{2}%=%t%I[pL]%e%?%G_j%{1}%=%t%I[pR,pL]\33E%I[eP,c1,eT,eS,eO,ct,eF, s,et]\33&l%{480000}%Gwn%/%Pq%gq%{1 00}%/%d.%gq%{100}%m%2dC%;%0B;%;…
HP 5P Recall Confusion
Message #272784
I have received confusing information about the HP 5P recall. A computer vendor told me that the recall was only for the 5MP, not the 5P. Is this true? I don't want the hassles of returning a printer. Thanks. -Steve
5P, 5MP difference
Message #272783
I read the text file purporting to give a product comparison of the 4P, 4MP, 5P and 5MP but for the life of me I can't see that it shows any difference between the 5P and 5MP. What am I missing?
HPLJ 4 CPU connector
Message #272782
I'm very well satisfied with my two-year use of my HP LJ4, but I have a (perhaps idiosyncratic) mechanical problem. The top spring fastener on the top pin connector on the printer (which connects the printer to the console) is apparently not strong enough to hold the connector tightly; the…
#272290-Serial Port
Message #272781
The printer does not have a serial port. I understand that I/O cards are available. Is there a serial I/O card ? If so, any idea of the part number ? Cheers Paul Read.

5P and 5MP recall
Message #272775
I read the BPL02563.ASC and find it quite uninformative. I am about to buy one of these printers and don't know how to tell if one is still subject to recall or is a "fixed" version. They should at least have indicated some way for the owner to know -…

Message #272762
You need the latest version of Spry, which is available GO PPP. It's free and I believe even connect time charges are suspended while you download. If you want it, I have some info on configuring a special WinSock session that can run simultaneously with Mosaic.

I upgraded today one of our LJ4 Si and TR to A0514, and the printer no longer print from Windows, and print jobs seem to hang along forever as well. I did this 'upgrade' in order to test the co-exist between NW 3.1 and NW 4.1, but after the problems,…

#272680-HP5P flicker like HP4P?
Message #272720
Nobody's reported a flicker with the 5P yet, but who knows until somebody does? At any rate, it's a result of the "green" electronics mandates the feds imposed and one that didn't work quite as well as it should have. You can reduce/eliminate the flicker in my experience in two…

Message #272718
Most people do not have this problem with the 2.1.2 driver that you're having, so it's certainly something in your own setup. Adobe is quite familiar with the driver and supports it in ADOBEAPPs here, and you might check and see if they have any ideas. I've had a few…

Message #272714
It's easy to do, but I'm not using a WinPrinter, for which your figures are correct. I'm using a Truetech board, which is a professional level product (40 megs and a 68020 on board! Kind of a Mac on an ISA board…) and priced accordingly. Even then, you're right, the…

#HP5P flicker like HP4P?
Message #272680
Just a quick question…does the new HP5P cause the same annoying light flicker that the HP4P causes? I've tried isolating the circuit every way I can, and still can't get rid of it. With all the technology HP has available, why can't they come up with a more acceptable method…

Does it matter what font you are printing with? There are some differences between the courier fonts on the IIP and 5P. Do a font print out and see what you get.
