[Shotimes] OT help with HP printer

[Donald Mallinson]

Jason,

BINGO!  Bless you and all that.

Thanks to everyone else that helped, but Jason's suggestion of switching 
from RAW format to NTEMF worked.  I picked the one with the ---7 number 
at the end at random and printed a page in about 5 seconds! 

Thanks again everyone and especially Jason for the thing that worked.
