Postscript Cart Bug

(1 / 1)


If anyone out there has a Pacific Data Products Postscript cartridge for their
HP printer, take note.  There is a bug which occurs after printing 2047 pages
in PCL mode.  The bug is that the cart stores the wrong data in the printers
NV ram making it think that it is printing on legal sized paper so the margins
will be off.  There is a temporary fix for this by manually setting the page
count on the printer to zero.  If you call Pacific Data Products, they will put
you on their list and notify you when the new version cart is available (ver 5).

I have the zeroing proceedure if anyone is interested.
