Dot Matrix Printer Configuration Problem

[Yashpal Singh]

Hi,

I have configured the Dot Matrix printer on the HP System rp3410 (HP-UX 11i V1) which is attached to the Windows machines.
I am able to print the 132 column from Windows machine.
From HP system, I am able to print only 80 column only.

Are you using Samba to share this printer? It might help.

CIFS/9000 on HP-UX.

CIFS/9000=Samba

Yashpal,

You will need a wrapper print script on UNIX that will add the 132 column code. See the printer's manual what the code is. The wrapper should be pretty easy to write - just prepend the "code" to the print stream.

Condensed (aka 132 column) printing is I thik universal for all Dot Matrix. The following link has the code:

On UNIX in VI, in case you don't know, to enter the ESC character .. you enter CTRL-V followed byt a left brace and then the code.

HTH.
