cups and pcl problems

Thu Oct 5 09:20:55 PDT 2006

Hello,

Cups 1.2.3
Solaris 9
HP 1320n and configured as raw.

I have installed CUPS 1.2.3. It works wonderfully with PostScript, however it isn't working with PCL.
I can print PCL directly to the printer (using a solaris print queue). (HP 1320n jetdirect) however when I use a cups queue it only prints a banner.

>From the logs, using debug2, to me, it seems that cups is sending the ps banner page

What am I missing?
Below is the output for Job 57 starting at the end of File 0 through the end of File 1
