Hi experts,

Is it possible to send a print job to printer on specific tray say tray1 or tray 2 from hpux 11i box. or is it possible to add another queue to a network printer & how.

TIA
regards,

It is possible once you have the printer driver installed . Read the manual. I remember doing it once forgot the procedures

Depends how your printer interface file is set up. Generally though, printing to different trays is achieved with using "options" on the command line using the "-o" flag to lp.

Also, there is no reason why you can't have several queues going to th same printer, just set it up the same as you set up the first one. There is no locking though so two prints sent at the same time will merge and generally mangle your prints unless the printer or it's network interface can handle that which many do.
