Comment 1 Paul Kirschner 2001-10-29 20:53:25 EST

I have an HP LaserJet 4L and see the following when printing a test page via 
printtool and Redhat 7.2.

The first page comes out showing the top left quadrant expanded to a full page 
(like the resultion was out by 2X), The next page has...
@PJL SET MANUALFEED=OFF
                                                @PJL SET RET=MEDIUM
(etc)

This all worked correctly with Redhat 7.1.

Same problem with an HP LasetJet 1100.

Comment 3 Gabriele Turchi 2001-11-01 14:14:04 EST

Apparently there is a buglet in /usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_mfomatic.pl.

The following patch fixes it for me.
