Re: Printer form for OpenVMS
IF you are NOT using LPD and
IF you have the codebook with the printer escape sequences (brand dependant) (they used to come with every printer, nowadays they are hard to come by)
THEN you can use any text editor to create your own setup form, the way you like it.
The fact that you already mention setup modules suggests trere are good chances for you.
Now all you need is the escape specs for YOUR specific printer.
If you locate those and need more help, by all means, come back here!
Success
Proost.
Have one on me.

Re: Printer form for OpenVMS
Which HP printers? Connected how?
Have you looked into DCPS? It can do
approximately everything, and the price is
right.

Re: Printer form for OpenVMS
sorry, 1st time I missed your mention of HP printers.
You mention Setup Modules, so I consider that known stuff.
The module to set character spacing ("PITCH") to 16 char/inch:
(
all text is case SENSITIVE,
spaces added for readability, REMOVE them!)
for non-integer number it gets slightly more complex, eg 11.5 ch/in:
( 0 in this text is the character ZERO, not the letter Oh )
Insert those modules in the library associated with the queue, and DEFINE a form that names thea moduke as a /SETUP module.
Success.
Proost.
Have one on me.
