Printing from IBM-AIX to HP4200

[edp02]

How can I print in landscape mode from IBM-AIX?
I used to work with SOLARIS and it was enough to type this:

lp -c -o landscape -d$PRN <MyFile>

You might need to send a PJL command to the printer via a file containing something like :

%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE
%-12345X

Insert the above in an editor and save it with no extension in binary format. Send it to the printer like a printjob.

Hello hpwizzard,

Thank you for your quick answer. Unfortunately, it does not work. I have several questions:

1) I use "vi" as my editor and I do not know how to save a file in binary format.

2) The characters "%-12345X". Must they be included in the file or is it your prompt?

3) The default setting of this printer is "PORTRAIT" with "FULL DUPLEX". I may disturb the other users if I change the settings.

Best regards

Like qprt -PQueueName FileName -z 1

Where -z Value Rotates page printer output the number of quarter-turns clockwise as specified by the Value variable. The length (-l) and width (-w) values are automatically adjusted accordingly.
0 -> Portrait
1 -> Landscape right
2 -> Portrait upside-down
3 -> Landscape left
