A co-worker suggested that I post my question here. I have been given the job of converting our very plain invoices into something more elaborate like different fonts, different colors, and lines and boxes. Do I need to install a new driver?
Thank you,
Chad
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Printing
Thanks for the response. Yes, this is an application that runs on hpux 11i. We are using a color laserjet 4550 but this application only prints in black and white. We don't have the source for this application but we can print to a file. I'm hoping that there is some way to run this file through a script or something to make the output more elaborate and then send it to the printer. The developer wants about $12,500 to do these changes.
Thank you,
Chad

SolutionIt's not free but it's way cheaper than $12.5K. It's also going to be a good bit of work on your part but I've turned plain vanilla text output into amazing documents (logos, duplex printing, colors, ...) with it. Tell John I sent you.

Re: Printing
When I first tackled UnForm, I chose the most complex document first thinking that if I could do it, I could do anything. That was a big mistake and I would do many things differently now. Start with a simple report and work towards the more complex.
If UnForm does not find any patterns that it recognizes then the input is simply written to the output.

Re: Printing
We installed the demo version of unform on our rp5450. The sample outputs look great! My manager is very pleased with the look of these reports.
Thank you,
Chad

Re: Printing
If memory serves, the demo will run for 30 days so that should give you plenty of time to see if UnForm is a good fit for your application. I find the most seamless integration is to add UnForm to the lp subsystem. My convention is that UnForm printers begin with "u" so that myprinter is a standard printer and umyprinter sends its input to UnForm which acts as a filter. It's a rather simple modification to the printers interface file.
