Print to w2k print server
I have an AIX queue setup that points to an w2k print server. The
queue there is setup as PCL and point to a Xerox Workcentre Pro 265.
When jobs are submitted from Win, they can orient as portrait or
landscape. When I submit from AIX, I always get portrait. How can I
control the orientation when submitting the job from AIX?
This is AIX 5.1. The qconfig entry looks like this.
cptest2:
device = @acnprint1
up = TRUE
host = acnprint1
s_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdshort
l_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdlong
rq = ANWP-X265-L2IS
@acnprint1:
backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak

Hi,
the entry looks like you have set up your AIX queue as a remote print
queue without "local filtering". If doing so to my knowledge you got no
control on any print option.
You need to set up a print queue using local filtering (with AIX
"printer driver" and "piobe" backend). This will result in having a full
customizable AIX virtual printer (lsvirprt -qcptest2 -d@acnprint1)
