==============================

Hi folks,

I did not print anything during the past year; but now I have a huge
amount of docs to print before the middle of next week (~6500 pages)

So I tryed to make Cups working; no way!

Whatever driver I use, I can't have nothing but 3 @#^!ยน&:

* pcl5 ou pxlmono just ouput one page sayning "PCL XL ERROR"...,
* Laserjet SERIES CUPS v1.1 throw a lot of pages with some chars on'em,
* laserjet and some other drivers said that printing was ok, but the
   printer led just blinked for ~ 2-3 min. and nothing else happened :(
   (as the ppd from the original HP CD)

I remember in 2002 I was obliged to find a PPD on the web, but
I didn't kept it.  With it it was working perfectly in 1200dpi and
images were very good.

Could you help me please?

Thanks in advance.

Jean-Yves
