Ok..heres my hardware.

P100 Triton chipset onbaord interfaces.
10bT Enet card on ISA IRA5
PCI SCSI Adaptec 
Hewlett Packard 4 with PS support.
 
 
Problem:
No matter what I do..I cannot get anything to print from my machine.
 
Ive had my Admin from my ISP look at it renotely, and catn get any results, 
Ive tried maybe 10 differetn printcaps from other working machines.
 
All I get are blank pages with the occasional dozen or so characters on
the page.
 
The printer works great from dos onthe same machine..no errors.
 
This is something that I need to work badly..but it just refuses to print
anything at all.
 
Ideas..??
