I apologize for three postings today, it looks like I have nothing else to
do!!! :-)
Anyhow, I was just out looking at the CDW web site and examining the printer
information. And I believe I just discovered the problem.....the language
for the Samsung is GDI. I took a loot at the HPLJ 1320 and noticed that the
language is listed as PCL 5E, PCL 6, PostScript 2 and states that
postscript support is standard. So, it looks like I am going to be
returning the Samsung this afternoon and purchasing the HP.
However, if anyone gets this e-mail prior to 2:00pm CST and knows how I can
overcome this problem, please feel free to phone me at 1-901-854-7236.
Thanks so much for everything!!!
Adrienne
P.S. I will still post a summary of responses I receive.

If I may add to this message, since I first posted my e-mail this morning, I
have tried the following:
- installing the printer using makePrinter
- purchasing a new parallel cable
The funny thing is, the first time I install the printer, regardless of
which method I use (./adddevices or ./makePrinter), the first thing I try to
print will activate the rollers on the printer, but it will not print.
Everytime after that, the green lights will flash, but nothing else will
happen.
And, if I am not being too bold, would you mind letting me know which brand
and model printer you are using on your system? If I end up not being able
to get this to work, I would like to purchase a printer that I know does
work on this system (SunBlade 100, Solaris v. 8 and VNMR 6.1C - all recent
patches loaded).
Thanks.

Happy Monday,
I was wondering if anyone has attached a Samsung printer to their system?
As some of you will remember, back in November of last year I was having all
kinds of problems with my HP 5L. I asked about attaching an HP 1012 and
that ended up not working (it was a USB printer and I never could get the
system to recognize it). So, I put the old printer back on the system and
it finally died. I went Saturday and purchased a brand new Samsung laser
printer (model ML-1740). I came into work and spent the better part of the
evening trying to get it to print, and it wouldn't.
I tried using every driver in the VNMR set-up and what would happen is the
lights on the printer would flash, but it would never print. At one point,
I tried typing
lpstat -t | lp -d printername. When I did the first time, the rollers on
the printer started turning and then it just stopped. After that, the
greens lights would flash, but that was it.
Does anyone have any suggestions for something I can try? Should I buy a
new parallel cable, could that be the problem? And if you happen to know
the Samsung doesn't work, please let me know so I can take it back and try
something else.
Thank you for any suggestions you could pass my way. I will post a summary
of responses.
Thanks so much,
Adrienne
