It was probably from the late 1990s; I had to purchase a new color ink cartridge, I suspect because the old one had dried. I am using `cupsys'. According to `poptions -l', the printer is running these options: PageRegion/PageRegion: *Letter PrintoutMode/Printout Mode: *Normal Quality/Resolution, Quality, Ink Type, Media Type: *300ColorCMYK I tried printing both from a recent CVS Emacs using `M-x lpr-buffer' and again from a command line as `lp type42-us.ps'. Both attempts resulted in this message being printed instead of anything else: # ERROR: configurationerror # OFFENDING COMMAND: setpagedevice # STACK: -dictionary- # ERRORINFO: false /ManualFeed The command line gv type42-us.ps for gv version 3.6.1 also produced the same message. However, a PostScript file printed successfully when it was created with dvi2ps version 3.2j. This also created a file starting %!PS-Adobe-3.0 but the PostScript file said: %%BeginFile: /usr/share/texmf/dvi2ps/headers/dvi2.ps My error is different from that which Mark Aufflick saw with his Optra T610, which is different from what Eli Zaretskii saw with his printer. (My LaserJet IIP stopped working so I am now dependent on the HP-DeskJet-932C.) -- Robert J. Chassell bob@rattlesnake.com GnuPG Key ID: 004B4AC8 http://www.rattlesnake.com http://www.teak.cc
