Description of Problem: In the 7.1 printtool when adding a local printer, the Okidata OL410e appears as an option, with ljet4 as the driver. The OL410e actually has two modes: Okidata mode (only proprietary Windows drivers available, but can achieve 600dpi), and LaserJet compatibility mode (can only do 300dpi maximum). The printtool, by default, sets this printer to 600dpi and the ljet4 driver, which won't work (printer reports page buffer overflow). Setting the printer to 300dpi solves the problem; this should be the default at least, better would be to remove 600dpi as an option. How Reproducible: Consistent. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start printtool 2. Add local printer, Okidata OL410e; leave at default 600dpi and ljet4 3. Print PostScript test page; printer reports page buffer overflow Actual Results: Page buffer overflow and garbage. Expected Results: Normal output. Workaround: Set printer to 300dpi resolution manually; however, many users wouldn't know to try that. Additional Information: I can quote the manual for this printer if it would help.
