Question Printing only first line
I am experiencing the same problem with a twist. My customer is submitting jobs from HP UX to a Windows queue within a software from EFI (Electronics for Imaging) called MicroPress. The MicroPress is a PS RIP by default but has a PCL option that utilizes a local PCL print driver to pass the job onto the virtual engine. The MicroPress has virtual engines (queues) that allow for reprint and management of jobs.

If I bypass the virtual engine and print directly to my printer still utilizing the local PCL print driver, I get all the data. When I send the jobs to the virtual engine, only the first line is printed and the rest of the pages are blank. It looks as though there is no carriage return or something.

I am not a Unix guy, but my customer is looking to me for an answer since the jobs print fine directly to the printer.

Any thoughts?
