Many thanks again to this list for helping. It is solved. It wasn't just
a Printcap problem but a LAT problem.
I know that LAT is old but we have a DecServer 500 that is still in use
so I set up the printer that way.
This was a combination of answers that helped me out.
Thanks to Denise McCracken answer to telnet into it and change the
orientation (didn't work I dont have a jetdirect card on it.)
Thanks to Karen R McArthur who gave me a copy of her printcap for her
printers. (My fault I have a 4si not a 5si and I don't have jet direct
card in it)
Thanks to Ernest LaBonte for suggesting that I use -olandscape in the lf
line. (Got on the right track)
SETTING UP a LAT Printer on 4.0g
Thanks to Dr. Blinn for suggesting Read the documentation
Thanks to Chris H. Ruhnke who gave me this line
/usr/sbin/latcp -A -p624 -H <terminal server id> -R <port id>
Thanks to Oisin McGuinness Who told me that lat setup is covered
in the Network Admin Guide (4.0f Chapeter 5, Section 5.8)
The combined answer was to latsetup a new port
latcp command
then set up the printer for landscape printing
Original questions
I have a Alpha 2100 4.0g system and I have a HP5si printer installed. I
need to add a print queue so that I can print to this printer as
landscape. I have looked through the printcap pages and etc.
Can anyone tell me how to setup a landscape print queue??
So I guess I am asking how do I go about setting up a LAT terminal to
this printer??
