It didn't work just now with the HP LaserJet 4M+ on my LAN, but that's
probably because I don't know what I'm doing. In LPR Setup, I created
a printer with an arbitrary name; for "Server" I put in the IP address
of the printer, and I left "Queue" blank because I didn't know what it
was for.
When I tried to print something, it did the whole internet connect
thing, then appeared to send the page to the printer. The printer even
woke up and started warming up, so I thought it was going to work. But
nothing printed, and on subsequent tries (with the printer awake),
there is no response from the printer.
What am I doing wrong, or is this the zero file size issue you
mentioned?
