When I try to print a text file, I can control the orientation and paper size in the lp command using: -o media=A4 or -o media=A3 and -y landscape
So that's working fine now... thank you thank you thank you! But when I send my .HP2 file, it comes out as text on many pages. This file is being generated by an old program. I don't want to do anything too radical to the program. I've tried loading the file into a program that displays HPGL-2 (Hewlett Packard Graphics Language) files and it does display correctly. I think that means it must be an HPGL-2 file. I think it's an HP format for sending instructions to a plotter. When I was using the netstandard printer driver and sending the same file to the same printer, it was printing out correctly. Somehow I need to be able to do the same thing now I'm using the ppd driver I loaded using printmgr. Paul P This message posted from opensolaris.org
