smbclient print while preserving windows printer settings?
I have successfully gotten AIX to print to a windows shared printer with this command:
the only problem is: I have this print queue set up on the Windows side to overlay an image to all pages. When printing from samba, the overlay is not applied. It does not seem to be using the windows printing preferences. The image overlay is configured at the windows driver level. Would it be possible to do this? The printer is a Ricoh Aficio MP C3500 using the RPCS driver for image overlay. Thanks
I have created a printer, but I need to change the default pitch (CPI and LPI). According to the lpadmin man page, I have to use the following command to change the pitch
lpadmin -p <printername> -o cpi=<decimal value> -o lpi=<decimal value>
However, this does not work. I tried it with a... (1 Reply)

Hi - Dummy question #1....
We either use the Hewlett Packard HPPI too or LPADMIN command to setup out printers. Is there an LPADMIN command that will show you the default config of a particular printer.
Ideally looking to see default font, CPI settings etc.
Thanks.

Hello
Let me first give a small overview of the setup. All printers are connected to Windows 2000 servers. There are a lot of UNIX (AIX & HP-UX) servers as well which have SAP running.
I'm working on a script to add printers to a specified SAP instance. I want to verify the user input (to... (0 Replies)
We have several HP FX-890 printers set up on our UNIX server to print invoices. All of the printers should be set up the same way (i.e. same margins, same paper height, etc). Our printer named invoice4 is now printing like the margins are shorter than the other printers. By that I mean it will... (9 Replies)

print.ini
print.ini(5) File Formats Manual print.ini(5)NAME
print.ini -- survex printer settings
Description
The print.ini file contains printer descriptions for the Survex printer drivers.
File Format
The format of the print.ini file is similar to the .ini files used on Microsoft Windows. The file is divided into sections, each section
corresponding to a separate printer description. A section starts with a section name in square brackets, e.g. aven's built-in printer
support uses the aven section:
[aven]
followed by some options of the form <option>=<setting>, e.g.:
font_size_labels=6
In the supplied print.ini each option is preceded by a comment (indicated by a semicolon ';') briefly explaining the option.
Customising Printer Settings
If you wish to change the size of the font used for labels or the colours used you need to override some of the setting in print.ini.
You shouldn't modify the master print.ini (located in /usr/share/survex on Unix, or in the same directory as the Survex program files on
other systems), or your changes will be overwritten by upgrades. Instead create:
o /etc/survex/print.ini (Unix - system-wide settings)
o ~/.survex/print.ini (Unix - per user settings)
o myprint.ini in the directory where Survex is installed (other platforms)
If one of these files contains a setting then aven will use it instead of the setting in the master print.ini. Any settings not specified
will still fall back to the values in print.ini.
