We recently installed a HP laserjet IIP (33471AB) with HP Postscript
cartridge in our 9000/300 cluster. It hangs off the serial port of one
of the diskless nodes. We managed to print Postscript files only by
stripping down the interface script to its bare minimum: no options,
no banners, no resets.

What is the proper way to do this? Does anybody have a working script
("/usr/spool/lp/interface/postscript" or something) or some
suggestions? It seems a postscript printer doesn't accept anything
that isn't postscript, not even plain text.

Please e-mail.
