Hello fellow netters,

I have a hp laserjet II hooked up to a hp9000/345. I can send binary data
(i.e. pcl files) to the laserjet from other hp's via the "-oraw" option
but that option is not avilable on the sun's..I have a sun 4/280 running
sunos 4.1.1. When I send binary data across the stuff is sent in text mode
so the printer hangs. Is there something I must do on the sun (add some
kinda filter in /etc/printcap, maybe?) to make it send binary data across
to the hp? Normal text files work fine. Thanks in advance for any help
offerred.
