Hi,
I own a HP Laserjet 4L that seems to be recognized correctly during system
startup. A directory entry LaserJet_4L.localhost was created in
/var/spool/printers and contains a properties file. A pcl.cfg in
/etc/printers exists.
When I try to print I only get white pages. What should I do ?
Regards,
Roland
Change to black ink, instead of white! (Sorry, couldn’t resist a joke!)

Perhaps I should rather try it with white ink? Because I currently use black and the paper remains white may be the white ink will produce black printing???
Seriously, what happens? It must be the spooler. Cat xyz >/dev/par1 delivers a visual result (but unusable because of missing line feeds).

This is a known issue that I think is resolved in the next patch.

There is a utility called `textto’ that will add or take away line feeds
in text files. It converts the file in place, so make a copy if you want
the original untouched.
textto -c file_with_no_linefeeds
textto -l file_with_linefeeds

white ink

That reminds me… I saw all the comments about white ink, but noone
mentioned the obvious…
Buy some black paper!
