When I printout the same file from two different UNIX machine , the font size of the word is different , I checked that the term setting of two machine is the same (vt220) , what make the printout font size difference ? thx.

It could be your two unix server had a different print interface script.

In unix when you print file it will use /usr/spool/lp/interface/your_printer script
or if you are using jetdirect printer spooling
your unix script is in /usr/spoollp/interface/model.orig directory

Please check your printer interface script for
each server first for this problem.

Hi


1)You find the script in /etc/lp/interface most easily.

2)If the printers are jetdirect then there is a man page of the scripts showing all options.

can be home in /opt/hpnp or /opt/hpnpl

export MANPATH=/opt/hpnp(l)/man
man net_ljx000

as an example

3)Are the printers of a different type.

4)Which is the default font in the printer
changed via the menu.

Hi,
Term setting makes no difference for printing.
You should look at the model script of the printer on both the machines. Definately the "pitch" setting is different in both the model scripts. The scripts would be in /etc/lp/interface/model.org
