Many thanks to Fred N. van Kempen, Terry, Peyton Bland, and Dave at HP
support. Ended up changing printer configuration from a remote host to a
remote printer using a filter. It was first set up using the the 5Si
filter, printer type "hp5simx" in lprsetup:
:if=/usr/lbin/pcfof +Chplj5simx.pcf:\
:of=/usr/lbin/pcfof +Chplj5simx.pcf:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
The "hplj5simx.pcf" filter worked great at UNIX but did too much at the
application level (or the app didn't). It was replaced with a more basic
filter that adds carriage returns to line feeds while not setting page
widths, wrapping, etc., ..."hplaserof", by editing the printcap:
:if=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
:of=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
The printcap is now:
:if=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp180err:\
:lp=@rlp180/hpjd:\ /* or fully
qualified */
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:rw:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd180:\
:sh:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
It was also necessary to set up a listening port in the services file:
# print services
hpjd 9100/tcp # listener port for HP Jet direct

Hello,
Below is the printcap entry. There previously was an Osicom print server to
an HP8150, it was replaced by a 5Si with a JetDirect card. It is now stair
stepping when performing the lpr -P rlp180 $somefilename command, worked
fine before. Is there something in the printcap that can correct this?
rlp180|lp180|180:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp180err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=rlp180:\
:rp=PORT1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd180:
Tru64UNIX V5.1A pk4
