Hi All,
I know the true answer to this problem is to get new printers as the
LaserJet 8100's seem to just hate most PDF files. However, I thought
I'd take one last stab at solving this problem by asking this group.
The problem - and I suspect it has a lot to do with the Postscript Level
- is that we have two 8100 series printers here and they both throw a
79.00FE error on many of the PDF's that are sent to them. Of course the
printer halts, drops communication and cups stops the que (and being the
noob that I am) and I have no idea why cups does that even. We have
many different OS's printing to these various printers and I'm not
having any luck in nailing down what software is printing the jobs that
fail.
My question to this group, is it possible to update this printer to
accept PS Level 3, and in doing so will that fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!
