Note: August 27, 2013

Hardware: HP laser printer with an USB printer port.  PC (without printer port, but there are three USB ports available for the printer).

Problem:
After linux and VNMRJ 3.2 installated, lp /etc/passwd is working properly  - OS printing is OK.  But cannot print the NMR spectrum.

• At the system (linux) --> Administration --> Printing --> in the table, find the printer (HP-laserjet-P2035, set it as default printer. Disable all the network printers.
• Login vnmr1   use vnmrj admin  --> management --> printer.  Delete all old printers, by select it and click delete selected. Then add a new printer.
• After adding the new printer:   hplaserjet_pl (for vnmrj plot), and HP-LaserJet-P2035 (for linux), click them, they will become yellow (highlighted). Check their parameters:
