Pete,
I've deleted the printers and print queues with both prndrv and with PM Printer Manager 0.61. They both get rid of them. Then I've used Printer Manager to create a printer. Select Printers tab, Select Create a CUPS printer. Select HP. Select OfficeJet Pro 8740. Selected the detected printer on 192.168.101.96, its correct address. Fill out the Printer Object name screen. On the Create screen, psprint is selected as the driver and the rest of the information is as I put in on the previous screen. Click Create. Error says see g:\var\log\cupswizl1. Log follows:

However, when I attempt to print two lines of text from e.exe to the created printer, both lines are printed on the same line of the paper.
