-w
, -l option usually correspond to pw, pl entry of /etc/printcap. However, this UX filter ignore pw, pl entry of
/etc/printcap
. So, the option cannot be changed by each page size using pw, pl entry.
Printing PostScript Files (Linux/Solaris/ HP-UX)
If same options for the PostScript file that contains options, such as paper size, are specified using dellpsif (Linux)
or the lp command (Solaris/HP-UX), the specified option will be ignored.
Printing Image Files (Solaris)
To print image files from Solaris the user cannot specify the image file directly with the lp command for printing.
Make use of sunras2ps2, tiff2ps2, xwd2ps2 and convert the file to a PostScript file. Output it using the lp command
after the conversion.
% xwd2ps2 file.xwd | lp
Header/footer Option (-Hd=position:format:page, -Hfheaderfont)
(txt2ps2,sunras2ps2,tiff2ps2,xwd2ps2)
If the paper size is not specified when using options, it outputs the header/footer at the position of A4-size paper.
To specify the paper size at the same time to use header/footer option. (If the paper size for the PostScript file
converted by using the option is specified by the option of lp command for example, the position of the header and
footer cannot be changed.)
The margin is specified automatically when the option is used. When the option to specify the margin is used at the
same time, the value that is smaller than the value specified automatically as follows is ignored.
In case of text files
Upper margin: 0.23 inch
Lower margin: 0.06 inch
Right margin: 0.03 inch
Left margin: 0.09 inch
In case of images
Lower margin: 0.3 inch
When using the option, the number of lines and the number of columns specified are ignored. Also, it is impossible
to specify landscape and 2-column.
In case of the PostScript file, it happens that the printer doesn't output all pages despite that output all page is
specified. In such a case, specify print the only top page.
It's impossible to use lp command in Solaris.
TBCPFilter (Solaris/Linux/HP-UX)
Make sure the TBCPFilter is available so the printer can specify the availability of the TBCPFilter.
