Designjet 90 printer on HP-UX

[Matthias Oswald]

Hello,
I trying to print HPGL from HP-UX 11i onto a Designjet 90 printer. It works from Windows, drivers are available.
On Unix I installed a print queue:
Add Networkbase Printer -> HP Jetdirect admin
using a for eample option 57 below,
but noting is coming out.

How can I configure the printer on HP-UX.
Any advice is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Matthias

try dowloading the latest model scripts from HP to see if they have the correct driver

ALl you need is the generic DesignJet plotter model from the above URL. Although Windows has a fancy driver, HP-UX does virtually nothing to files sent to DesignJets so you can only send HPGL files to the plotter. This doesn't take much code in the printer script.
