Come on, Mr Headrick! No false humility, please! You know how much you
deserve all those compliments and so much more.

Hey, this certainly is an interesting ressource -- LOTS of forums! --, but...

🙂.
since Dewaine has already intervened in this thread, we might as well
continue here, don't you think? I'm surprised you don't see his post,
since we both have supernews as a provider.
Dewaine has already made a suggestion about downgrading to a former PCL
driver. VERY unfortunately, the 1012 doesn't even use a PCL driver. And
the problem, recognized worldwide, it seems, is that it just won't
print... continously, without off-on recyclings, with a server OS, be it
Linux, Mac OS X and even, I read, Windows server.
So the question, I suppose, boils down to this: how come the Laserjet 1012
refuses to print properly with any server OS? Surely somebody at HP knows
why the 1012 presents such an enormous /bug/ and the way to fix it. I
really don't think Dewaine will be much help this time. This is clearly an
HP issue.
Kind regards!
