LaserJet 8150 printing is offset in UNIX

[jerry1]

Has anyone seen a problem with the 8150 printers having an offset to the left when
printing from UNIX. Printing from NT works
fine. Is this a printer firmware problem,
Hp Jetdirect UNIX driver??
And where can you get the printer firmware
images to download and upload to HpWebjet
software on windows to upgrade the printers?

Hi there.
Try a different modelscript for your printer.
We use net_lj4x as standard for all HP laserprinters.

The solution for this printer was in its
configuration. Duplex Registration Menu.
Used to re-align the duplexer.

hi,
Which Unix version you are running?)
I'm using SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 and here is the list of all available models:
(there is no model called: net_lj4x,
Which one I should use instead?)

1640 HPDeskJet500 epson network prx
5310 HPDeskJetPlus f450 network.ps qume1155

This is the HP-UX forum and net_lj4x is a special script used with HP's proprietary JetDirect software to talk to the HP printer LAN cards. The correct printer script to use is net_ljx000 which works for all new (last couple of years) printers.

As far as the SCO list of printers, most of them are museum pieces. The basic HPLaserjet script will probably work fine but you'll have no command line options to control paper source or destination, duplexing, rotation of text, etc.
