Hello managers,
my original question is at the end.
The *real* problem behind was this:
Unix will send only <LF> at the end of a line and DOS (or Windows)
"needs" a <CR><LF> to start a newline from the (left) beginning of a line.,if
you want to print something.
To achieve this at a HP4000 you can use the menus and options from the
printer itself. A HP LJ5M does not have this possibility.
For a HP LJ5M you will have to send an Esc-Sequence (<ESC>&k2G) (without
the brackets!) prior to each printjob to the printer.
(For other printers there may be other solutions, which i don't know...)
Use this magic and see the miracle happen: it works!
With regards,

My question was:
>we have a HP LJ5M printer spooled via NT (including "passthrough" and
>correct(?) driver) and queues to that printer on Solaris 2.3
>
>Now if i print an ascii-text with lines shorter (or equal?) 80 characters
>verything works fine.
>
>But we need to print lines up to 132 characters and what happens is, that
>all characters before the first 81. character are printed correctly and
>after that only white paper appears. But the number of pages being printed
>is correct. So my example gives one line with text (less than 80 chars)
>and 5 blank, white pages...
>
>On another 5M, which is set up identically except that it is spooled via
>another Solaris-host this same printjob comes out correctly.
>
>I'm out of ideas by now, where to look for the problem-solution.
>Any ideas?
