Chris,

I've heard this a lot about printing to LaserJet printers but I still
don't know what is meant by page-level-recovery. I've been using
LaserJet's on our HP3000 for 10 years now. Even when we used serial
connections and term type 18, if a page were to jam in the printer, the

You're not likely to get an EPSON printer talking to HP's network-spooler.
Try ESPUL from RAC, or Minisoft's netprint, or Quest's print package.

The HP3000 MPE spooler requires (at least) some PCL support at the printer
level, and a jetdirect (100% compatible) network card or box that talks the
SNMP language the MPE spooler utilizes to get printer status.
