Hi everyone, i'm trying to print from Netscape, simple web pages, giving it command " lp -d printername" but wht it is doing is that printing from tray three on A3....i need him to print on tray 2 on A4. My Star office knows that he has to print ordinary web pages on A4 not on A3. Thanks fr yr time, iraja

Have you tried running jetadmin to see if there are configuration options for this?

Yeh...tried everything..jetadmin..is useless....HP support says they can't support Solaris problems......have to write a print filter..that can send post script jobs to specified tray..if anybody have done that ?

I'm *not* entirely sure, but there's something out there called Ghostscript, which might help you out...
A page I also found was: http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/lp-magic/
which is for another proggie that does lp filtering. Perhaps one of these may provide a solution to your problem? Unfortunately I don't have a HP printer hooked up to experiment with so can't be 100% sure.
