How to specify in the command line the desired format of the printing job (letter, legal), when printing a pdf file on a network printer.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: format of the printing job
We have a Novell network with all the printers defined on it and then defined as remote on the HP side. Printer options do not seem to work in this configuration.

Re: format of the printing job
This is exactly what we have:
a Novell network with all the printers defined on it and then defined as remote on the HP side.
So there is no work around it?

Re: format of the printing job
It's my understanding that the only way to fix it is to use JetAdmin or HPPI. It's on my todo list to try it - maybe by next Christmas I'll find a chance.

Re: format of the printing job
I do not know how it happened that I assigned you "0" points. I was choosing 10.
Sorry ....

Re: format of the printing job
But if the box is not HP-UX (ie, Windows_something) then the options are silently thrown away. You'll have to include the appropriate codes inside the print job, virtually impossible without support from the Acrobat Reader program. Unlike Windows, HP-UX provides no printer subsystem and associated drivers. In Windows, all print requests use a meta-language that is translated into the appropriate data stream by the driver. In HP-UX (and most other Unices) the spooler simply passes the output to the printer, sometime prepending or postpending control codes. An exception is BSD style printing where there are local formatters thatt can translate jobs before sending them off to be printed.

Re: format of the printing job
We were in the same situation as you and could not find any better solution than using JetAdmin or HPPI.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards

Re: format of the printing job
OK I installed HPPI, but -o does not work.
Probably Bill is right.
Yogeeraj, you said that HPPI helped you to get -o working, right? Did you have to re-configure the printer itself to get it working?
Thank you.
