Hi! I'm trying to enable the printing of UNIX jobs on printers attached
directly to Windows NT or 2000 Pro PCs. I've installed the Windows UNIX
printing component (for the Windows LPD support), and I'm using PCF files on
UNIX to control what type of font is used (using PCL escape sequences). The
problem is that every single printjob is ignoring my PCF file and prints
using Courier 10 pt. I require the Line Printer font which allows me to
print 132 chars per line (or approx 17cpi). I tried setting the font on the
printer's front control panel (it's an HP LaserJet 4 Plus) but no luck. I
also fiddled with the type of Windows Processor, but using RAW or TEXT
doesn't work.
Do you have any idea what I can try next? This is on Tru64 UNIX 4.0F. I'm
currently testing on a Windows 2000 Pro PC, but most of the printers will be
attached to Windows NT Workstation 4.0. Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards,
