I am still having to hit the Continue button after each page. I print to my
Laser Jet iiip from two machines, one running Xp, other running native linux
and virtual win98se. Jobs from either XP or 98se print all pages without any
need to intervene, yet, ANY job from linux, always requires intervention.
This is why I believe that the settings on my Laser Jet are just fine, and
that there is a problem at my linux machine, which is sending the wrong
information. 

Any further ideas on how to proceed? 

All print from linux looks great, is well aligned...saturated, without
problem other than requiring manual feed initiation of each and every page.
