Hi all,
I just installed the PrintServer V4.2 software on an Alpha2100 OSF/1 v3.0
to drive a PrintServer20 printer. the printer seems to boot, spool and
print fine, it was a real surprise how well everything went! however,
one small nit... I uncommented the two blocks of code in the sample
banner page provided that are supposed to cause the page to be taken from
the alternate paper tray [filled with colored paper]. the banner page
prints fine but it seems to be taken from the large capacity tray. has
anyone else encountered/solved this problem? the alternate banner page
did work under the old setup [Ultrix4.2 host with V4.0 of the software]
but I am unable to locate the banner page file in that setup.
one other nit... I used to be able to specify options such as duplex directly
to lpr [lpr -Ktwo_sided_duplex], this didn't seem to work on the one file I
tested. from the user card with the software it always shows using
lpspr to specify options and then piping the output to lpr
[lpspr -K2 | lpr]. is this the only way it works now? my only
complaint is that the job title is always 'stdin' rather than the original
file name then.
thanks for any info!
