Hi,

I'm working on getting cups working and I've installed the "hplip" port and  
the cups program used that to install the printer. At least, there was  
an "HPLIP" in a list in one of the pages during the setup. My printer is an  
old HP LaserJet 4+ which I've connected through the parallel port. My URI  
for the printer is parallel:/dev/lp0. When I went to do the test page I got  
this error, "Unsupported format 'application/postscript'." Here's the  
problem, I chose a driver which, though I don't remember the full string in  
cups, was a 4/5 PCL driver. So, why is it trying to print using postscript?

Andy
