Printing to an HP LJ 1160 problem...

Hello Smilie Smilie Smilie

Trying to print to an HP LJ 1160 printer is giving me blank pages. I get a one line text at the top of the page and the rest come out blank....

I have reset the printer to its default settings and still nothing. I have deleted and recreated the printer from UNIXWARE and still nothing...

I called HP and they said I need to call UNIX to provide me with certain commands to enable printing for this printer...???

I can print a test page fine.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Smilie

Thanks

A few minor, unimportant little details like what system you're using, what OS you're using, and what printer daemon you're using might help. Just a bit. Smilie
