Print to HP P4515 using PCL codes for built-in printer fonts from AIX 5.2
 

I am using the HP p4515 printer successfully with the HPLJ-4000 driver and PCL queues. However I only see minimal font and pitch options in SMIT.

When I print the PCL font list at the Printer I see about a 100 + or - of different built-in font choices, and their PCL escape codes.

I would like to use one of these built-in fonts to print my default text documents, and I think the PCL escape codes need to be entered in AIX somewhere.

I think this can be done by modifying the SMIT colon files, but I am unsure how to proceed. Has anyone ever done this or can you point me in the direction of the proper resource.

Thanks,

Hi

Did you ever get this to work as I am having problems printing to the HP P4515 from aix - it throws an extra page in between each printed page. Does not matter what I do to the font or page settings, basically ignores it.

Any help would be great

Thanks
