When you said that the "burst page" was also rotated, you meant the
Athena header page, right? The one that usually has your username in
big letters, and some sort of graph paper on the rest of the page.
If this is being printed wrong, then the job itself is probably
irrelevant. I think I've seen this problem before, on an HP 5si, a
couple of years ago (one of the bld. 66 cluster ones). If it's what
I'm thinking of, the problem is indeed on the printer.
Anyhow, the first step I would try would be to restore the printer to
factory settings (a cold reset). Please be aware that this will make the
printer forget its appletalk settings. The printer should then use bootp
to get its other configurations back, and you can manually restore the
appletalk stuff later (I don't know about or support appletalk, myself,
but I don't think it's hard).
How to do a cold reset:
a) Power the printer off.
b) Find the "on-line" or "go" button (the top leftmost button of the
front panel; it varies from model to model what it's labelled).
c) Hold down this button while powering the printer back on.
You should see "COLD RESET" on the printer's LCD, at which point you can
release the button, and should wait a minute for the printer to finish
booting up.
