Hi sun-managers !

Here is summary for "UE450 and HP LaserJet 6MP on parallel port"
problem. Original question is at the end of the letter.

In order to print to HP LaserJet 6MP printer attached to the parallel
port of UE450 server you have to install the next patch:

104605-06: SunOS 5.5.1: ecpp driver patch
105741-03: SunOS 5.6: /kernel/drv/ecpp patch

Many thanks to:
Casper Dik <casper@holland.sun.com>

The question was:

> Hi sunners !

> I'am trying to connect HP LaserJet 6MP printer to the

> I've added new printer with the lpadmin utility with the

> # lpadmin -p hplj6 -v /dev/ecpp0 -T unknown -I any
> # accept hplj6
> # enable hplj6

> When I send job to the printer via lp utility the printer

> (cat /etc/group > /dev/ecpp0) printer waits for the pressing
> onboard button and then prints the file but without CR's.

> I think this problem is in an interface or filter programs.

> Did anyone solved this kind of problem ?
