Hello Fellow Sun People,
This is a summary for my post requesting printcap entries
because I was having difficulty printing. My configuration is
an HP III with a postscript cartridge and NeWSprint 2.0. My problem
was that some bigger files choked and caused: 22 I/O CONFIG ERR on
the HP without the postscript cartridge. With it the printer and
computer couldn't communicate at all.
Below I have included my current printcap and some of the replies.
Well, I received a lot of replies and requests for info.
There is a lot of redundancy in the replies so I will basically
summarize and include a few of the ones that were a bit more meaty
than just the printcaps.
As it turned out for me, my problem was not with my printcap
but with my print cable. The pin which allowed the HP to tell the
computer to hold off(xon/rtscts) was disconnected. I should have
checked earlier, however, it was not so clear that that was the problem
and some things were working. It did end up being a very good learning
experience although it took too long. I was initially going to
recommend just using the NeWSprint stuff and forgetting the postscript
but now I am not so sure. It is faster but there are some issues about
it which I have found dissatisfactory. It turns out that the NeWSprint
does not implement text printing exactly like lp and lpr and has there-
fore caused some frustration for those who want to stick to standard
UNIX syntax and what-not. I thought with the writing of some simple
scripts and/or aliases I could mimic it but I have yet found an easy
way to do this.
When printing a standard text file NeWSprint uses the standard
HP font, Courier 10, and this causes not-so-nice looking text. It
also appends a header to the to, unless you tell it not to, and
therefore shifts everything down. For instance, manpages no longer
fit nicely on to a page and take more fiddling than I find necessary.
I therefore became disgruntled with NeWSprint. A lot of the folks
here use the command: lpr -p filename. Well, with NeWSprint thinking
the printer is postscript it prints with Times roman as the default,
a bit small, but it also places a nice "normal" header on the files
and allows them to fit nicely on a page. To do somewhat the same
thing with NeWSprint I was inclined to use enscript and I had to give
it the font and what not and tell it not to print a header and it came
out OK. However, the header is nice and useful but NeWSprint insists
on appending one and this forces everything to shift down and not fit.
I tried using NPtoool and found that it lacked any features(i.e. it
didn`t allow the setting of font, header, page length, etc.). I have
heard that NeWSprint 2.1 is nicer but I don't currently have it. I
therefore, recommend using the postscript install/printcap entry and
using a postscript printer or an HP(or whatever) with a cartridge. It
also turns out that NeWSprints interpretation of postscript isn't so
standard and you will probably find some things cause "offending-errors".
Some also suggested using an rs-422 cable and setting on the
printer. It works with rs-232 but I will be trying rs-422 to see
if there are any differences.
Sorry I didn't respond directly, Thanks VERY much for all your help.
If you have any comments or suggestions about my summary I will
gladly append or edit anything. Please send me any additional
info or corrections about this, I will update it and send the corrections
through. If you know how to make NeWSprint not change
the standard UNIX printing environment please inform.
Erik

>Instructions for using an HP LaserJet printer running HP's PCL
>(Printer Control Language) on a Sun serial port.
>
>
>1. SERIAL CABLE:
>----------------
>
>You may use a standard 25-pin full null-modem serial cable,
>or use a straight-through cable and a full null-modem adapter,
>available from Radio Shack.
>
>A proper 25-pin full null-modem serial cable looks like this:
>
> 1 ------ 1
> 2 ------ 3
> 3 ------ 2
> 4 ------ 5
> 5 ------ 4
> 6 & 8 ------ 20
> 7 ------ 7
> 20 ------ 6 & 8
>
>
>
>HP LaserJets can also use the following 25-pin serial cable:
>
> 1 ------ 1
> 2 ------ 3
> 3 ------ 2
> 7 ------ 7
> 5 & 6 ------ 20
> 20 ------ 5 & 6
>
>
>
>
>2. PORT SETUP:
>--------------
>
>As superuser, you may use the "eeprom" command
>to set and verify EEPROM values.
>
>Sun EEPROM values for the serial port the printer
>is attached to (in this case, /dev/ttya):
>
>ttya-rts-dtr-off=false
>ttya-ignore-cd=true
>ttya-mode=9600,8,1,n,-
>
>
>
>3. SOFTWARE SETUP:
>------------------
>
>Following is a simple HP-PCL print filter and sample printcap entry.
>This will allow an HP LaserJet running PCL to print ASCII files.
>
>1. It works at 19200 bps without problems, with long files.
>2. It does not throw a blank page at the end of the print job,
> but still prints the final page.
>3. It works with Robust XON=OFF (necessary if you ever want to
> communicate with the printer interactively).
>4. The filter script is somewhat self-documenting.
>
>
>
>HP printer setup:
>
>Robust XON=OFF
>RS-232 mode enabled
>Baud Rate=19200
>DTR Polarity=HI

Hello:
These filters will perform well for a laserjet. There is an output filter and two input filters. The second input filter produces landscape output. Useful for database apps that are not LaserJet Saavy. You can use either one in a
printcap entry.
best of luck using them.

> I have come across this problem with PC-NFS PCs attempting to print
graphics and make font calls to laserjets directly attached to the server.
The PC-NFS part is set to raw however, the codes don't make it to the printer.
The solution was to incorporate some print filters that would pass the actual
file data to the printer. (my filter also sends a laserjet reset code so that
if the last user printed landscape, the printer gets reset between each job.)
I can send you the c source for both the input and output filters - this may solve your problem.

Hi.
Here are the filters - just write them to files, complie and edit your printcap to point to them for the in & out filters.
NOTE: The hpIII also works for series II and the old original.

/*
This is used to print out the header page.
This module should be the output filter in printcap.
The input filter should be in_hpIII.
BOTH filters must be in printcap
This filter is for the HPLASER SERIES III
It starts by sending standard reset (<esc>E) to the printer
Laser jet expects to see CRLF on ascii files so we map LF
to CRLF until we see an escape character. The escape char
will be used by some word processer to reset fonts etc...
From that time on just
get a char then print a char
get a char then print a char
get a char then print a char

The filter out_hpIII should be setup as the output filter for

BOTH filters should be in printcap.
This filter is for the HPLASER SERIES III. (It has been tested.)
It starts by sending standard reset (<esc>E) to the printer and it follows
by sending the codes for landscpae compressed. Use this filter in another
printcap entry for the same printer so that people can get their jobs
printed sideways without changing the application. This works great for
database reports and spreadsheets!
This file modified to send the escape codes to call up landscape
orientation and the compressed "line printer" font.

to CRLF until we see an escape character. The escape char
