Print problem

[M.sureshkumar]

Hi Guys,
Yesterday i configured 5100 series network printer in my hp3600 workstation.After configured, i given print out from unix side then unix test page is comming. In this workstation unigraphics is running.

In unigraphics side i given A4 printout then it is comming properly, suppose i select A3 size then printout is not comming.

So i given command prompt i.e

lp -o paper=ISOA3 -d hpdj5100 test.prt

this command is executing but output of printer is junked printout ,this junked printout takes 50 to 75 pages so, that time i go to printer side and cancel this job.

Actually i don't know what about this problem .
I tried and reconfiured 4 times printer configuration,after the same problem comes i.e junked printout.

Pls guide to me.

Thanks.
M.Sureshkumar.

Without knowing what interface file you are using, it's difficult to help you. I assume that this is a JetDirect (ie "Network") printer rather than a "Remote" printer. cd to /var/spool/lp/interface. There should be a file "hpdj5100" there. It is a shell script. Look to see what -o options it supports. There is probably a script with the same name in the model.orig directory located directly below the interface directory. That is the main interface file.

Generally, you can do an echo "Test" | lp -dhpdj5100 -o options to get a list of suppported options. You probably need something like -o binary or -o postscript added to your lp command.
