Default HP4250 Printing Garbage

Hello all,

I have a strange situation that is totally baffling me. I have an
HP4250 printer connected to the network. When we send multiple PCL
files to the printer it prints about 4 duplexed pages correctly and
then prints garbage. This only seems to happen when I print the files
from one specific Server running Windows 2003 however. I have 7 files
named file1.pcl through file7.pcl. Below is a summary of what I have
done for trouble-shooting.

>From command prompt on Windows 2003 server - prints garbage after 4th

file.
print /d:\\Server\Printer file1.pcl
print /d:\\Server\Printer file2.pcl
print /d:\\Server\Printer file3.pcl
print /d:\\Server\Printer file4.pcl
print /d:\\Server\Printer file5.pcl
print /d:\\Server\Printer file6.pcl
print /d:\\Server\Printer file7.pcl

>From same server I combine the files into 1 large file using cat

command use the print command and the files print correctly.

Put the files on another Windows 2003 server and repeat the above
tests with the printer installed on this printer and they print
correctly.

Setup the printer as a share on the second Windows 2003 server and
repeat the above tests above issuing the print command from the server
that I am having the problem with to the shared printer on the
secondary server and it prints correctly.

I have checked and compared everything that I can think of between the
2 server and they seem identical. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

John Hill
