Need printer interface script for LJ4050n?

[John Grover]

I have a LAserJet 4050n connected to my server (HP/UX 10.20) using JetAdmin. We are trying to print on pre-printed forms, the output alignes Okay on an old LJiii, but the 4050 apparently adds a blank line at the top of each page after the first, misaligning the text. I've tried subtracting a line from the output to no avial so maybe the margin is changing? Since the 4050 is defined in JetAdmin as an LJiii I'm guessing that the proper interface script may solve the problem.

Where can I find an interface for a 4050, or can someone point me in another direction?

Hi John,

If I understand your question, you are running a 4050n which normally uses the net_lj4x interface script with an lj3 script. I would first simply install the same physical printer
as a different queue using the net_lj4x interface. I have many of these 4050n's of my systems using the net_lj4x script without problem.

After you install the new queue the do an lp -dyournewprinter -o options to list all the options available with this interface. You can also man net_lj4x. If you still have problems, the place to work on it is the interface script itself. You could either add a special option for your form or simply always use a dedicated queue with your modified interface file for this form.
