Turboprint expert anyone?

[Xanxi]

Hi.

I have a registered version of Turboprint 7 installed on my OS3.1, and i have netpar.device from netparlpl.lha (aminet) installed and setup for the ip adress of my network printer.
The printer is a laser Brother HL-2030, which is supposed to have a HP Laser emulation.

When i try to print (from WW7, Ibrowse, or anything), i only have white pages, nothing is printed, though i get t, the correct number of pages.

I have tried several drivers with teh same outcome (.laser, some HP laser printer).

I need your help about this. The network part seems correct, i guess the problem is the turboprint driver.

Thanks for any advice.

did you try to print directly from TP instead of a 3rd party application ?
you can print a copy of your screen in TP (hardcopy I guess it is called) with ctrl+alt+p IIRC (should be in the manual that came with your disks !)

I hate to ask the obvious...  But will the printer print a self test?  (In other words, did you remember to pull the spacer out of the toner cartridge before installing it?)  Hey, I work in an office, you'd be amazed how many times I fix printers by asking this question.

Thanks for those advices.

I have just tried the Ctrl Alt P and i still only get a bunch of white paper out of the printer.

As for the printer itself, it is working perfect with any other windows computer on my network (of course with the proper Brother driver).

Finally, after many tests, i have learned that the Brother HL-2030 is a GDI printer, so it relies on the host computer CPU to do all the job and is likely to work only with a windows/mac driver.
I am unsure if this printer is able to emulate HP or Postscript, as there is some confusion between various models in this serie.
So i am launching here a last beacon, if someone knows something about this printer and the amiga...
