Changing to HP JetDirect affect printer line spacing

Post by bwolf4.. » Thu, 20 Jul 2000 04:00:00



I have a AIX 4.2, we are printing to a Printronix
6240. We just recently changed from a serial
interface to a JetDirect parallel connection. Now
our forms don't line up correctly.  I have made
changes to the print que to no avail.  It appears
that the printer is now printing 8 lines per inch
instead of the default 6 lines per inch.  The
printer and que are both set to 6.  Any
suggestions?

How is the queue configured?  Remote queue with standard processing?
Remote queue with local filtering?  Jetdirect queue?

If you're using a remote queue with standard processing then there is no
virtual printer to do any formatting and all of the formatting is done
by the Jetdirect card.

If you're using a remote queue with local filtering then the formatting
can be done by the AIX virtual printer AND the Jetdirect.

If you're using the HP Jetdirect attachment software, all formatting
should be done by the AIX virtual printer.

If you know the escape code to put your printer into 6 CPI, just use
lsvirprt to adjust the ci attribute.  For example, if your printer goes
into 6 CPI with ESC abc, then do:

lsvirprt
    Select queue
        ci~v
    Append a new line to the very bottom of the file:
    '\033abc'

where \033 is octal for escape.

Best regards,
Paul

1. Solaris 2.5.1 / HP JetAdmin D3.15 / HP JetDirect / Non-HP-Printer

Hi,

I run the above configuration and it works almost fine. I've created a
model script as descipt in HPs Electronic Support Center. But I've still
some troubles:

1. lp appends no form feed to my printing.
2. I've still PJL commands in my printings.

Has anybody experiences with similar problems?

Thx Mue
