Printer script

What would be the best model script for a lserjet 2100M? The printer is connected to a HPUX 10.20 mc. And I want to be able to print from an NT workstation too.
Also if I use the laserjet script, the PS from NT prints fine but the PCL6 doesn't
so I used a special queue using the dumb script and that for some weird reason prints an empty page after every print job.

Any help would be GREATly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ram.

Re: Printer script


I believe the correct drive for NT for a 2100 is PCL5e - which you can download from HP somewhere. For HP-UX you should also be using PCL5, but you could also use PCL6 or 4. I would just stick with a laserjet5Si model.

Re: Printer script

I have sometimes found that when a laser printer starts to reject blank pages It may be a printer setup issue. If you printer is set to 60 line per page try changing the printer to 66 line per page.
Being that you are printing from both HP-UX and NT this change may affect the may the NT print jobs are produced.
