Upgrade DCPS v2.3 to v2.4

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.

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

Re: Upgrade DCPS v2.3 to v2.4

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.

Re: Upgrade DCPS v2.3 to v2.4

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.
