LJ 5100 PPD files

anoop_10 — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 10:00:56 GMT

We have a problem in printing arabic reports on HP Laserjet 5100 series printers.Oracle applications is by default configured with default.ppd file. As a part of solution, Oracle requesting us to replace the default.ppd with printer and platform specific .ppd file.
We are having the required .ppd file for Windows NT and Linux platform from the printer CD. However we need HP-UX platform to resolve the issue as we are running application on HP-UX.
Is there any chance I can find the .ppd file for HP-UX platform?Where is the location for these .ppd files in HPUX ? Please help me .....

Anoop,
on closer inspection seems printer is only supported direct on UNIX via JetDirect

See page 130 of www.hp.com/united-states/business/IRG/pdf/4AA0-0391ENUC.pdf
For Jetdirect card see page 305

Note that a PPD file is simply a text file so you should be able to copy your Linux version to your HP-UX box. The "gotcha" will probably be the fonts listed in the PPD files so you will need to ensure that the fonts listed actually exist on your HP-UX box.
