Any suggestions that we might > try? How odd, that the input filter would not work. Have you doublechecked it against the LaserJet manual and made sure that is the proper command code? I have a DeskJet 500C that exibits the same behavior, but the sample worked fine. You may try installing one of the filters that are available, such as apsfilter and ... oh, there is another one that does more than apsfilter, but i can't remember the name. I have apsfilter and no staircase shows. > Our only other recourse we be to get Linux or > Solaris, since none of us have the time to waste > writing our own code to get around this problem.
