Selecting the tray to print with

[Jonathan Caplette_1]

Hi guys,

I need to select the tray on wich one I want to print with. I'm on HP-UX 11.00 and I try to print on a HP 5000N on tray 2 for legal paper.... I need to print a file that will fit landscape on a legal sheet...

I use "lp -d -olandscape ?whichtray?

Regards
Jonathan

Jonathan,

You should be able to select the tray with "-o bin#", where # is the number of the tray.

Hi Jonathan,

Depending on the printer model you've selected for this printer, you can try

-ubin #Upper tray
-lbin #Lowee tray

as well as

-A3
-A4
-B4
-ledger
-legal
-letter

I see these options in the /usr/lib/lp/model/hp5000c30 file for $pagemode & $paper vars.

HTH,
Jeff

Hi Jonathan,

Try this command,

lp -d -olandscape -otray2

Hope it helps,

These two commands will help immensely:

lp -d -ooption /etc/profile

man net_ljx000

The man pages are located in /opt/hpnpl/man so this will be appended to your $MANPATH variable after the JeDirect software is installed. You'll find several pages of options.
