An update:
1. The problem with the output appearing on the back of the header
page is fixed. It turned out that the printer had duplex printing
turned on from the control panel. Setting it off on the control panel
and using "lpr2 -d" did the trick. Now Netscape gives me an extra
dialog box saying:
Processing stdin as normal PostScript.... Sending file(s) to printer ....
OK
but I can live with that. Finding lpr2 was not easy. Why is that not
installed in the normal libraries?
2. Jerry Burke has been helping us with the tray selection problem.
I've found that if I setup the paper the way I would like (8.5x11 in
tray 2, legal in tray 3) and open tray 3 while I power cycle the
printer, the printer will default to taking out from tray 2. If tray
3 is closed when I power cycle the printer, tray 3 is used for the
default input tray. Jerry is talking to HP about this and seeing what
should be done and what we should do about this.
This is really a LOW priority problem, but things like this bug me.
It doesn't mean anyone has to spend any real time on this unless we
start to try to provide this service to our users.
Roger
