NetportExpress 10/100

[Scott D. Allen]

I know this doesn't really belong here (not much traffic over in the printserver forum), but here we go.

I have a NetportExpress 10/100 Print server (Intel, 2parallel, 1serial) that I'm trying to setup a queue for on my 10.20 K360. I can use JetAdmin to manage or setup the queue for this device. So, I use sam and just setup a remote printer. However, it only prints the first line of the file.

Anyone ever setup a queue for one of these things in HP-UX? Help appreciated. Thanks.

PS. I couldn't get access to the forums for the last 2 days, anyone else having problems?

Hi Scott

I think it actually prints the entire file. The problem is that unix files only have "LineFeed" at the end of each line, so it actually prints the lines outside the paper.

A quick fix is to print your files using a LF->CR/LF tool like "ux2dos" - try:

ux2dos | lp -d

The long term solution is to look at the script in /etc/lp/interface/ and modify it to do the filtering automatically.

Hi,

what remote printer name have you used ?
You could enter PASSTHRU or TEXT.
When entering TEXT the printserver adds carriage return automatically to the print so you will have printing the correct text.

I'm using TEXT, but I did try PASSTHRU. I'm verifying it right now that it works.
