Changing printers and printer drivers can cause a lot of testing.

Even in an environment, that has been running for years without problems.

I'm also having issues with HP Universal Driver - PCL (it will only provide B/W-print – on our new color-printers.

PostScript-drivers seems to be better at communicating with the physical printer when it comes to selecting the correct tray/paper size, colors.

But PostScript-drivers can be more sensitive - if you for example have a symbol font, that has a space in the symbol name or just a long name (I have reduced ours to have less than 12 characters (and no spaces!) – and now it seems to work). At least on a smaller piece of paper (A4). There’s still work to be done with bigger sheets.

Luckily – the updated font doesn’t affect any legend-setting. And it seems to be enough to install it on our Netplot-server for now.

I've installed the most important printers directly on our G/Netplot-server.

I had the need to test/change some printer driver settings – and I didn’t want to interfere with other print systems. I also needed to test other printer drivers for the same device.
