AIX

Hi,
I experience some issues with my new print queues that I created in AIX (smitty). This following print queue is dedicated to print on tray 1 and the user have to put the paper manually, the jobs should be executed without separator page.
But when we print on this queue, the job is executed on tray 2 and automatically () and we have one blank page as separator between the jobs.
Here is the configuration of my print queue from smitty:

Have you any idea to fix this issue? to be able to print on tray 1 and without blank separator page.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
here is a solution to prevent form feed after each print job.

chvirprt -q<queue> -d<queuedev> -a _Z=!

But I'm not able to print on tray 1. I run this command:
chvirprt -q Printq1 -d hp@printest1 -a _u=1


and I get this result for this print queue


lsvirprt -q Printq1 -d hp@printest1 -a _u


Name Description Value
_u Input PAPER SOURCE 1


But it prints on tray2, my goal is to be able to print on tray 1 and I
have to put the papers manually.


Any suggestions?


Thanks a lot.
