Question Printer prints blank pages

Hello Everyone Smilie ,

I have this printer installed on the network which is an HP 1160.

When sending a print job to the printer from SCO Unix 7.1 it prints one line of text and the rest of it comes up with blank pages.

I have tried deleting the printer and recreating it; but I am getting the same resultes. I have created a test file with 5 pages and sent it to the printer, and I am receiving the same with the exception of garbled text on one line of each page. The garbled text appears as wing dings.

Does anyone have any ideas what may be happening and how can I correct this?

Any help is appreciated. Smilie Smilie

Thanks
