Hi all,
I've got a curious issue which may be a little off track (apologies). I
have a PCL printer (HP 5si) to which I'm trying to print a converted
postscript file - but I want it to go to tray 3. Text prints to the second
tray fine but not converted postscript.
My setup is as follows,
1. My Test Postcript file.
---------------------------------
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
statusdict begin
2 setpapertray
end clippath stroke showpage
-----------------------------------
2. Convert a postscript file to PCL format using ghostscript.
/usr/local/bin/gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=ljet3
-sOutputFile=MY_PCL_FILE < POSTSCRIPT.ps
3. Print the postscript file to tray 3.
/usr/bin/qprt -u2 -PMY_PRINTER MY_PCL_FILE
If I issue the qprt com on a text file, the printer selects the correct
paper tray. If however I use ghostscript to convert a postscript file it
ends up on the default tray (tray 2).
I've tried changing the tray number in the postscript file between 0 and 3
to no avail.
I've tried setting up a printer queue which has the default tray set to
tray 3. It again works for text only.
Any ideas ?
