About Printing

[juno2]

Our HPUX is connecting a printer through a jet direct print server , now we want to print a graphic ( eg. banner ) on the unix shell , is it possible ? thx.

vi the following file:

/etc/lp/interface/pr1

...where pr1 is the name of your printer.

Search for the "banner" variable and uncomment it out, or, make it say "banner = yes"

Alternatively:

#lp -d -t "title" pr1

The lp command is often hard coded in gui interface software. If this is the case the add "-t title".

Cheers - hic

Can you please explain what exactly you want to print? coz. in unix you can print anything as long as the printer is configured properly using the right model script and you have a file for the graphic you want to print.
Try
#banner hello|lp -d

If you just want to print the banner called hello

I don't know that when I submit a print job ( eg . printf "xxx" /dev/tty " , how to attach a graphic file that on the UNIX system? thx.
