Subject:    Graphics Printing Problem

I have an HP Laserjet IIP attached to a 4D/35 using the parallel port.  I
frequently print graphics from packages such as Wordperfect and LOTUS (running
under SoftPC), and also print Postscript files using Freedom of Press.

When I print graphics from LOTUS or Freedom of Press I occasionally get
extraneous characters, lines, pixels, etc.  I get the same error each time
I print the same graph (ie, the problems are repeatable), so it's not a
random communications problem.  I've changed cables, and the results are
identical.  Graphics from Wordperfect does NOT have this problem.  Normal
text always comes out fine; it's only when I'm in graphics mode.

Any ideas on what's causing this?

Many thanks,

Bill
