The npconfig file is read each time the printer commands

spooler

nn;start

startspool nn

are used, meaning if corrections are

needed to the file it is not necessary to restart the HP e3000, only the
spooler. Stop the spooler by using a

stopspool

command, then restart it

using one of the commands described above.

Create or modify the

npconfig file. As a starting point, you can use the

system file npconfig.samp.

For each logical network printer that points to a physical NIC using the
npconfig file entries, make the following minimum entries (assume a
logical device 201 has been set in sysgen

)

201 ( network_address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

tcp_port_number = 9100

pjl_supported = true

snmp_enabled = false

jam_recovery = false

data_timeout = 30 )

The entry

snmp_enabled = false

must be entered as shown.

If you have other HP LaserJet printers already configured while using a global

setup_file

entry, and you experience font or other difficulties with the

P5000LJ line matrix printers, create a separate setup file which is empty to
override the global entries. This may be required since the P5000LJ printer
uses PCL Level II, which is a minimal set of PCL, and the typical HP e3000
global setup file may contain PCL commands beyond those in PCL II. This will
not affect your ability to use the P5000LJ printer effectively. The syntax for the
setup file is

setup_file

= name

Use npconfig entries

banner_header

and

banner_trailer

for banner or

trailer pages. Be aware that the default value is “true,” so banners will print by
default.
