Upgrade DCPS v2.3 to v2.4

[HenLeu]

After upgrading the tray control of the HP8150 is not working anymore.
$ print/param=
(DATA_TYPE=AUTOMATIC=ANSI, INPUT_TRAY=TRAY_3)
For tray_1 and tray_2 it's the same issue.

Error Message:
%DCPS-E-INTRAYNOTAVL, No tray_3 tray is installed on HP LaserJ)(et 8150 Series)
%DCPS-E-FLUSHING, Rest of Job \(to EOJ\) will be ignored)

The other printers(4200, 4345, ez..) are just working fine.
Any idears....

PS. We are back on dcps v2.3.

Don't have such a printer but this will move the subject back to the top.

contact hp - DCPS is under active development and they do like to know if there may have been a regression especially with their own printers.

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

if via lpd, check if the logical value is correct.

I think this is a known 'feature' of V2.4 - talk to HP to get the solution.

This is a known problem with DCPS V2.4. The solution is to use the device control module from V2.3.

The module in question is called LPS$$HPLJ8000_SETINPUTTRAY. If you need help extracting it from the V2.3 library or replacing it in the V2.4 library, please let me know.

Here is how to take the V2.3 version of the module and put it in your V2.4 library:

Extract the module from the DCPS V2.3 device control library. You could do this on a system running DCPS V2.3, or extract DCPS$DEVCTL.TLB from the V2.3 kit.

From a DCPS V2.3 system, extract the module:

$ LIBRARY -
_$ /EXTRACT=LPS$$HPLJ8000_SETINPUTTRAY -
_$ /OUTPUT=LPS$$HPLJ8000_SETINPUTTRAY.PS -
_$ /TEXT SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS$DEVCTL

Then on a V2.4 system, put it into the DCPS V2.4 library:

$ LIBRARY /REPLACE /TEXT -
_$ LPS$$HPLJ8000_SETINPUTTRAY.PS -
_$ SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS$DEVCTL

This problem will be fixed in DCPS V2.5.
