printer question

[mpaschali_1]

Hi all,

I am running HPUX 11.0 on an A500. I have connected a HP 8100N printer to the hp-ux box using remote printer (lp). I am wondering if instead of using the default of a potrait sized you can change it to landscape from the command line. I have looked on the man pages and cannot seam to find anything. Is there a way to do this?

Thank - you in advance
Maria.

lp -o landscape

Hi

you can use lp -dprinter -o landscape

you can also set this param in the script file of the printer .

Hi,

when configured a printer as a remote printer these options take no effect.
Instead you have to configure the printer as a network based printer connected to HP JetDirect (requires installation of jetadmin software J2559C)

(Read only if you want to avoid using JetAdmin.) For remote lp printers, you have to use a new interface script (attached) which provides the same PCL5 options available to direct attached printers.

Hi mpaschali,

The following will configure it :

#lp -dYourPrinter -o landscape
