intermec printer

Hello guru's,

Does anyone out there have an intermec label printer working for hpux 11.11. I believe my problem is the printer driver script. I am able to get data to the printer it just doesn't print correctly.

Since there are many, many ways to connect a printer (parallel, serial, remote server, HP JetDirect LAN card, non-HP LAN card), you'll need to describe the connection and what is wrong with the current printing. Is the printing just random characters or is each line offset across the paper?

Yes - I do.

Intermec label printers work with Lexmark driver...

The Lexmark driver package must be installed first.

The file to download from http://drivers.lexmark.com/ is DRIVERS-HPUX1X.PKG.Z

uncompress it then swinstall it.

It will install "Lexmark Enhanced Printer Drivers Package" and "Lexmark Screen Fonts Package". After completion, run: /opt/lexmark/setup.print (use the default of bin for Administrative group, and install fonts as an additional font directory.

Then use lexprt program to add queues.

First, you must create the virtual device:

1) Create a virtual device (mklexdev), enter device name (same as queue) then 3) Network connection then accept.

Next, change the Logfile absolute path to (USE Ctrl 8 to backspace!!): /var/adm/lp/.log
where is the queue name.

Second, create the queue by selecting 5) Create a queue (mklexque)

The print queue subsystem must be
shutdown to create the queue.

Rgds...Geoff
