Re: Problem with printing on change of printer

[Victor Warner <vwarner@woroner.com>]

Thank you for the reply.

The (real) printer is a pcl/postscript printer (although a LexMark, I 
used a HPLJ Color 4500 printer driver). And in DOS/Wordperfect I set up 
a postscript printer driver for HPLJ Color 4500)

I set up another machine in exactly the same way as the problem machine, 
and have no problem in printing . On the problem machine the cups 
error.log produces the following entries:

"I [29/Jan/2008:09:20:01 +0000] Default destination set to 'HPLJ4500' by 'root'.
E [29/Jan/2008:09:20:12 +0000] print_job: Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-raw'!
I [29/Jan/2008:09:20:12 +0000] Hint: Do you have the raw file printing rules enabled?"


Is something missing from the Dosemu setup or in CUPS?
