The Mac file services on our server works well, but I've never been able to
get the Mac on our network to print to the laser on the windows network.
Yesterday I installed a new non-postscript Brother HL-5040 Laser, connecting
it to the Win 2K server via USB and I was hoping that this would fix the
problem. The printer prints fine from XP workstations.
I set up the printer on the Mac (OS 9.0.4) using chooser using the
LaserWriter settings. When I print a page e.g. a web page from Internet
Explorer, the printer prints, but it's all garbled text.
I also tried printing a one sentence simpletext file, and similar garbage
comes out (many pages).
You can make out some of the garble and maybe this means something to
someone:
}efcl
sfcl{dopgdev
}
....*PageRegion A4Small
(some overprinted lines, then multiple pages of what looks like hex)
Is the printer printing postscript? I thought the Microsoft RIP was meant to
convert the postscript to an image and send that to the printer.
I've looked at the properties for the Brother Printer (in the print Queue)-
Advanced-Print Processor and see that the SFMPSPRT is set to PSCRIPT1. I
beleive this is correct??
Any ideas???
