printing on a HP 4M



Hi all,

I just got an old HP 4M printer, which I'm connecting to my OpenBSD box
via the parallel port. The problem is that I can print exactly one time
before the printer needs to be reset.

I have a small postscript file that I can either send directly to lpt0, or
to the spooler via lpr. Regardless of what I do, the file will print fine
the first time, the second time however, the data light on the printer
will flash, but there won't be any output.

Has anyone encountered this before on an HP laserjet? Do I need some sort
of weird (or not so weird) printcap setting?

Thanks,

Fred
