Printing to a Xerox Docutech as a remote printer
I have a Xerox Docutech printer that is run by a solaris box.
I need to print to this from my HPUX servers. I have it setup as a remote printer and can print to it, but it doesn't understand the control codes so everything gets printed in the same font and portrait.
Does anyone know how I can get this to work so that I can also print condensed fonts and landscape?
HPUX 11i
Docutech 6135
TIA,
Sean

Re: Printing to a Xerox Docutech as a remote printer
Unfortunately one cannot pass print options to a remote printer. It will be up to the SW creating the print job to embed them within the file OR you could write a script to embed them into the file being passed to the remote printer. But you just can't use -ocondensed or -olandscape to a remote printer - they're discarded.
IF you're using a Jetdirect print server or internally mounted card within the printer AND set ip up as a network prinetr THEN you could pass options to the printer/print server to act upon the job. You can do this on directly attached printers as well.
Rgds,
Jeff

Unfortunately I have to talk to this printer through the Solaris box that runs it.

Re: Printing to a Xerox Docutech as a remote printer
I print to a Xerox Docutech from HPUX and have been doing so for a couple years. While it's true you have very little, if any, control over remote printers, the issue can be addressed on the Xerox side.
Our Xerox support person built a number of different print queues on the Docutech to handle different printing needs. One of them even staples documents. I ended up building several different remote printers, one for each special queue.
You may need to pester Xerox for support, but I can assure you that this is all possible. It's just in knowing how to set it up on that side.
Regards,
Tim

For experiency if you configured the queue in the hpux, need only configure in the host sun the name and ip the server hp.

Re: Printing to a Xerox Docutech as a remote printer
At least the model we had and got rid of.
It really was troublesome, but at least it worked with openspool.
We replaced it with a konica.
To get fonts on it, you have to create pcl or postscript templates and get them on the workstation.
Xerox has documentation on their website, I may have paper documentation and disks.
