Model Script, Apparent TimeOut

Bill Brutzman — Wed, 09 Mar 2005 13:05:49 GMT

Upon changing from net_generic to net_lj3x, the printed packing slip prints half of the page, ejects, and then prints the rest on a 2nd sheet.

Does it make any sense to tweak the model script by tweaking code in /etc/lp/interface/model.orig/pack_3x ?

If so, is this truly the correct place to do it?

As this is a legacy LaserJet IIID with external JetDirect 300x print server, it takes ~50 sec for the first job to print.

It looks as though you need to pass in a pagelength value (or change lpagelen in the interface file or set the default page length to something different on the printer itself). You could tack on an ASCII FF to the datastream in the interface file itself or the PCL sequence to flush output to eliminate the delay.
