Ciao,
I am having a problem sending print jobs to different paper trays using
lpr. I have a DECLaser 3500 with Network Interface Card and two paper trays
(plus the manual/multipurpose feeder) running on our local network. I'm
trying to print from an AlphaServer 1000 runing DU 3.2. In lpr, there is
the option to specify which paper tray to use with the -I option (e.g. lpr
-Iupper). However, no matter how I set up the printer, host resident, NIC
resident, the output always comes out of the default paper cassette. In the
spooled job, I get the right command in the /var/spool/printer/cf* file,
namely, a line "<upper". But the word isn't getting to the printer somehow.
I can select different paper trays from my Macintosh and it works fine, so
I know the capability is alive and well. Any ideas?
As always, sorry if this is an age old problem...
thanks,
kevin reardon
