LEICHTER-JERRY@YALE.ARPA.UUCP (06/03/87)
Your message of Wed, 13 May 87 18:42 PDT, contained the necessary command
files and setup modules for an HP LaserJet +. (Note: As far as I can
see, none of the special features that come with a "+" are used - this
should work as well on a simple LaserJet).
There is a typo in one of the setup modules:
landscape.txt has the following ONE LINE
<esc>E<esc>&l10<esc>&l55F<esc>(8U<esc>(s0p10h12v0s0b3T
^
Should be letter O, not digit 0
Using the definition as posted doesn't successfully shift to landscape mode,
but does reset the apparent page size. The result is one confused printer.
Just to avoid all the requests that are likely to show up from people who
missed or didn't save the original mailing, I've included a copy below,
with the typo corrected. The following may not have been clear: For mailing,
all ESCAPE characters have been replaced by <esc>, and some lines in the
setup modules that were then very long were folded over. You must edit the
text to put the ESCAPE's back in, and combine the folded lines back so that
each of the .TXT files contains exactly one line.

Subject: re: setting up HP laserjet +
In response to the person asking about setup modules etc for the laserjet+
This is how we set up our HP laser jet + on our microvax II.
in systartup.com we have:
$define/system laserjet $terminal7: ! substibute your terminal line here
$set terminal laserjet/perm/nobroadcast/notypeahead/nowrap -
/speed=9600/width=80/page=0/device_type = unknown
$set device /spooled=(sys$print, sys$sysdevice:) laserjet
$initialize/queue/start/lib=laserjetlib/separate=(reset=reset) -
/on=laserjet/default=flag sys$print
$define/form/stock=default portrait 1 /desc="Portrait Courier" -
/setup=(portrait) /length=60/wid=80/margin=(bottom=0)/nowrap/notrunc
$define/form/stock=default landscape 2 /desc="Landscape"/setup=(landscape) -
/length=45/wid=132/margin=(bottom=0)/nowrap/notrunc
$define/form/stock=default compressed 3 /desc="Compressed Portrait" -
/setup=(compressed) /length=80/wid=120/margin=(bottom=0) -
/nowrap/notrunc
and we have the following modules in sys$library:laserjetlib.tlb
COMPRESSED,LANDSCAPE,PORTRAIT,RESET
where compressed.txt has the following ONE line
<esc>E<esc>&l0O<esc>&a5l80M<esc>&a0R<esc>&l8D<esc>&l80F<esc>(8U<esc>(s0p16.66h
8.5v0s0b0T
landscape.txt has the following ONE LINE
<esc>E<esc>&l1O<esc>&l55F<esc>(8U<esc>(s0p10h12v0s0b3T
portrait.txt has the following ONE line
<esc>E<esc>&l0O<esc>&a5180M<esc>&a0R<esc>&l60F<esc>(8U<esc>(s0p10h12v0s0b3T
