yes, print a packet. and ethereal is set for plain text. and the output is not postscript just not understandable. printer is an hp lj 1200 with pcl 6.
so i tried to print it on our networked postscript printer. i set the ethereal settings to ps. the printer printed the ps file with ps codes, not the final version.
needless to say, both printers seem to interact with my win2k laptop normally with other apps.

Is that "print a packet" as in "control-P", printing a single packet?
If so, I tried it with 0.9.5 at work, printing to a networked HP
PostScript printer on Windows 2000, and it worked.
I also tried it to a local printer at home, with the current CVS code,
and it worked.
There were some bugs fixed in that code since 0.9.5; I wouldn't expect
them to cause that problem, but perhaps they would.
Note also that your preferences for printing should be for printing as
plain text, not PostScript, on Windows if you want control-P to work.
