printer

[Cloudmaster <sauer@cloudmaster.com>]

I've got an HP DeskJet 870Cse.
It's supported by ghostscript using the 850 driver (and works with the 890
driver).

It works fine, kinda.  When there are more than one document in the queue,
the printer will start printing pages and pages of a few chars/page. Just
garbage text.  It's neat to know my printer supports hardware "smilies" and
capital Omega's, but I'd rather not have it printing them unless I actually
*ask* it to.

It works flawlessly when I only print one document at a time (except that
jobs sent from windows using the correct driver print about 3 times as fast,
which bugs me).

I'm using apsfilter as configured by SuSE.  I've never had a problem with it
before.

If anyone has a suggestion, lemme know.  I'm attaching my printcap.
