HP printer is unfriendly to Solaris

[charlesy]

I have a HP printer that prints everything from Solaris in portrait and too big. This is the same as our Kyocera printers, we have designed a way to send the format to the kyocera and I need to know how to do this for the HP.<br>

cheers

You might want to try a product called Jetadmin, from HP. We use hp printers almost exclusively on our netwaork, and this seems to work the best.<br>
<br>
Just go to HP.com, & do a search for Jetadmin.

We do the following using bourne shell to place pcl comands at the top of the file: -<br>
<br>
echo &quot;\033&l1O\033&l2S&quot;&gt;/tmp/PCLHEADER.tmp <br>
for printfile in `cat /t2/dbadmin/BATCH/LOG/printfiles$TODAY_SUFFIX`<br>
do <br>
ed -s $printfile &lt;&lt; HERE &gt;/dev/null <br>
0r /tmp/PCLHEADER.tmp <br>
w <br>
q <br>
HERE <br>
