I did a fresh install to 7.1 last week (deluxe set if it matters) and
while nearly everything else works very well, I am having a problem
with printing to a windoze box.

Although my *other* 2 printers -- one PS and one HPPCL -- work fine
on my 7.1 box (both on jetdirect), I cannot successfully print anything
but text to the HP970Cse on my windows box.

(the printer is shared there and the sharing works fine otherwise)

If I go to my 7.0 box, it can print to this printer just fine, AND I can
bring up vmware on my 7.1 box (thanks to the patch posted on the Seawolf
list)
and print postscript or hppcl to it just fine that way.

However after going through the configuration as follows:

        Queue type:           Windows Printer (SMB Share)
        ----------
        Share:                //(machine name)/hp970cse
        Workgroup:            STUPIDITY
        Host IP:              (ip address)
        User:                 (irrelevant -- works same with or without
                              user name/password)
        Password:             (see 'User', above)
        Translate \n => \rn:
                              selected
        Driver:               Deskjet 970Cse or anything else using
                              cdj550 (I have tried several other all
                              using cdj550 -- same results)

        Driver Options:
        --------------
        Set EOT:              Selected
        Rerenderer PS:        (seems irrelevent here -- the results
                              are the same whether selected or not)

        (BTW, I haven't found where the "Rerender" option is documented
        anywhere in the release notes)

Then of course, I apply the changes stopping and restarting lpd.

I also did a manual /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd restart just to be safe -- no
difference.

I can print text to this printer from my 7.1 box; however, when I try the
button

        Test->Print Postscript Test Page

I get ONLY the top 1/4" of the postscript output -- that is I get the
top of the box down almost to the bottom of the (text) '0.5"' marking
just below that.  Then the page ejects and I start getting garbage pages.

This test works correctly to my other 2 printers here, AND I can
successfully print PS to this printer from my 7.0 box or from vmware --
so I suspect a problem with either setup error or the driver.
