I am working on a project involving devices and drivers. I'm testing stuff and I have no test server, so I have made a copy of an existing device named "LASER" and the new device name is "LASERLOGO". Also, I have copied the driver "hp_lj5" to "hp_lj5.lg". I have made no changes the the driver, hp_lj5.lg and the parameters on both devices are the same with the exception of the driver.

In testing this change, I print a report to device "LASER" and output goes to the printer. When I print same report to device "LASERLOGO", I get a message "No Data within selection".

To narrow this problem down, I modify the driver on device "LASERLOGO" back to "hp_lj5". When I print same report to device "LASERLOGO", output goes to the printer.

Something must be wrong with the driver.

I have checked the permissions and ownership. What else should I check?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hello,

have you copied the driver in $BSE/lib/printinf/h/hp_lj5 ?
Copy the driver to hp_lj5_lg, maybe it's the point.

Yes, I am on HPUX. And I already tried replacing the "." with an "_".

I'm probably stating the obvious but "No data within selection" really should be a function of the session and not the report.. maybe it's one of those reports that you can only print once per item?

If, the world is infact insane and the driver is causing the problem - then it's got to be the driver name, or device name. try making the driver file name
smaller (like hp_ll) or something.
