HP Laserjet and "watermarks"

[Rob Helmer]

Hello,


I am working on a Samba server to replace an NT server for print
and file services. 

I am starting with print services, as this is the most urgent
( the NT box is out of space, and the spool dir keeps getting
filled :)

We have a couple 5000 series HP LaserJets, I am testing using the
HP LaserJet 5000 GN that's on the same floor as my desk. Using the
2000 client driver for this printer seems to work fine, except for
the fact that the "watermark" feature does not seem to work.

"watermarks", as far as these printer drivers are concerned, just
print words like "Confidential" or "Draft" across the document
but are transparent, so you can still read the original document.

The interesting this is, if I print from NT 4.0 ( the current 
print server in fact ), the watermark feature seems to work fine.

I am working on getting the latest drivers loaded onto my 2000 client
machine, then I will test some more. In the meantime, has anyone run 
into this before?



Thanks,
Rob Helmer
