As part of my quest to move from an HP LaserJet 5MP to a HP LaserJet M404,
I've found that the LIST datatype is not working as expected.  When printing
to the HP5MP queue, I get the grey bars that simulate "Greenbar" paper. 
When printing to the M404 queue, everything is right, except there are no
bars.

The only difference in the DCPS v2.5 configuration is that HP5MP uses
IP_RawTCP, while LASER uses IP_LPD.  I've been unable to get the M404 to
work with IP_RawTCP.  The HP 5MP uses a vintage external HP JetDirect box.

$  IF .NOT. SETUP_MODE THEN @SYS$STARTUP:DCPS$EXECUTION_QUEUE -
        HP5MP -                 	! P1 - Execution queue name
        "IP_RawTCP/xxx.xxx.x.xxx:9100" -! P2 - Interconnect protocol/device name
        DCPS_LIB -                      ! P3 - Logical name for library(ies)
        "" -                            ! P4 - Default queue parameters
        "/SEPARATE=(NOBURST)" - 	! P5 - Default queue qualifiers
        "" -                            ! P6 - Communication speed (serial only)
        "" -                            ! P7 - Device characteristics
        ""                              ! P8 - Verify on/off
$  IF .NOT. SETUP_MODE THEN @SYS$STARTUP:DCPS$EXECUTION_QUEUE -
        LASER -                 	! P1 - Execution queue name
        "IP_LPD/xxx.xxx.x.xxx" -	! P2 - Interconnect protocol/device name
        DCPS_LIB -                      ! P3 - Logical name for library(ies)
        "" -                            ! P4 - Default queue parameters
        "/SEPARATE=(NOBURST)" - 	! P5 - Default queue qualifiers
        "" -                            ! P6 - Communication speed (serial only)
        "" -                            ! P7 - Device characteristics
        ""                              ! P8 - Verify on/off

Here is the command I'm using.

print test.com/PARAMETERS=DATA_TYPE=LIST/queue=hp5mp
print test.com/PARAMETERS=DATA_TYPE=LIST/queue=laser

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Zane
