 Hi,

   I am using cups-1.2.5 for one of our dev. board which is running linux-2.6.

 I could able to print JPEG, GIF like image formats but i couldnt able to print text/print formats with my HP laserjet 6P/6MP.

  I am using rastertohp filter in cups. when i try to print the txt/doc 
file with "lp -d lasernw sai.txt" its giving the error like 

             lp: Unsupported format 'text/plain'!

  The /var/log/cups/eror_log  file  output is given below.. it is showing that 

         application/postscript not supported
         add_printer_formats: lasernw: text/plain not supported
