[cups.general] PCL and non-PCL output to same printer?

[Michael Sweet]

Try printing without cover pages - if that works, there is something in the driver/PPD you are using that is causing the printer to ignore the remaining print data sent to it.

Incidentally, we get the same thing (cover page but no output) even if we try to send a plain-text file to the printer using lp -d<queuename> <filename> from the Solaris command line.  Unfortunately, I'm not the unix sysadmin, so I can't do a man on mime.types.  Are there other options we must put in the local.types file to make it work with plain-text?
