I just bought a Okidata OL830 laser printer, it supports
both HP & PostScript modes.  HP is fine, but in
I set it to PostScript, when I try to print, ON-LINE/WAITING
display then IDLE displays.  In the manual it suggests 
Non-PostScript driver is installed.  I don't understand that,
if the PostScript emulation already built in the printer,
WHY DO I NEED A POSTSCRIPT DRIVER???? 
Do I have to do some magics with the "printcap" file???


any ideas,
thuy
