[K12OSN] Printing from TuxPaint to HP Printers

[Carl Keil]

Hi,

Whenever my daughter tries to print her work from TuxPaint on the thin 
client it prints out about 200 pages of jibberish.  Each page has a 
series of random heiroglyphic looking things accross the top and not 
much else.  This happened with my old Black and White HP 1012 that I had 
on the network using the foomatic driver and a DLink print server. 

But recently I bought an HP Color LaserJet 2550n printer with built in 
JetDirect server.  I've tried the HP drivers and foomatic - 3 different 
drivers.  2 of them print nothing (not even the test page) and the third 
prints the 200 pages of jibberish from TuxPaint  while all other apps 
seem to print OK with this driver. 

So, I'm wondering about the special print commands in the TuxPaint setup 
utility.  I have no idea where to even start?  I've tried getting 
Tuxpaint to pop open a regular print dialog and it says that my print 
system can't support the image/x-eps file format.  It can't even print 
to pdf so I can print that. 

What other print commands are there and how do I learn their syntax?  
Can someone give me some pointers?  Or, possibly someone here has gotten 
TuxPaint to print on a 2550 and can tell me exactly what to do.

Thanks,

CK
