Everything on the hp side looks alright but I keep getting the "Chosen Personality Not Available" on the printer.
I read some of the forums and know that there is some problem with the driver. My question is what driver are we talking about?
Thank you so much.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionThe issue appears to be that that printer is not supported under HP-UX. Please refer to the following doc re: supported os.

also, see the following thread:

hp seems to recommend the 3800 series instead, which supports PostScript. the 3600 uses "JetReady"?

Re: HP color LJ 3600 Chosen personality not available
Whether it is an HP printer or other brand, never assume that the printer will work on HP-UX unless it states ASCII or PCL support. The raster language (aka, GDI or host-based) is a cost reduction design but eliminates compatibility with most non-PC OS's.

Re: HP color LJ 3600 Chosen personality not available
You might want to look at Remote Print Manager (RPM) from www.brooksnet.com.
It runs on a Windows box and allows you to send jobs from HP-UX to windows as a "remote" print queue. I've used this, and number of years ago, and it did what I needed.
Note that you *probably* will have to create a separate print queue for each set off printer features you wish to use, and print to the appropriate queue.
For example, one queue for landscape and one queue for portrait.

Re: HP color LJ 3600 Chosen personality not available
It does print something but not everything. Anything that is ASCII base seems to have no problem to print out. However, when the report have form and documents in it, it only print out the documents. I guess the print server does not understand the PCL form language and just chop out all the form part and print out the documents.
Not knowing who to do next at the moment and any insight will be greatly appreciated it.
Thank you

Re: HP color LJ 3600 Chosen personality not available
That's why Windows has a rather extensive printing subsystem and printer metalanguage. In Windows, your program has no idea what kind of a printer it will be using. The program just issues a series of call to the printing API and the driver does the rest. There is nothing like that in HP-UX.
PCL is upwardly compatible but HP is the largest printer supplier in the world but has many models that are not PCL compatible. Check with your application developers to see which version of PCL is required for their code (PCL1,2,3,4,5,6,6e) and which printers are known to work correctly with the code they are using.
