To modify the driver of a printer with JET ADMIN

[Phil Sichler]

Hello;

I use JET-ADMIN to install the printers with HP9000 11.11

can one uses modify the driver of a printer and his language (PCL, PostScript) without removing it and reinstalling it?

Thank you for your assistance

There is no driver for printers in HP-UX, only simple filter scripts. However, there is nothing in the scripts that will change the language (ie, take a PCL file and convert it to Postscript). Most HP printers that have the Postscript option will auto-sense the print job and process the text correctly. While you can override the language on the command line (lp -o postscript) why would you do this? See: man net_ljx000

Since the filter is a simple script, you can modify or replace it anytime when the printer is idle.
