Folks,
I've been struggling to set up a printer. After much tweaking and twiddling,
I finally can actually see the printer in U2ADMIN, but still can't seem to
get anything to print to it.
There'd have to be thousands of "printer won't"'s in the archive....
probably too many.....
From the top:
The first thing is....
Does the printer "name" have a space in it? UV doesn't like that......
As it is UV we're dealing with here, UVDEFAULT is probably the "best" name
for a printer, providing, of course, (a) you don't already have a UVDEFAULT
printer and (b) you don't mind this printer being UV's "default" printer.
Secondly...
You have a SETPTR somewhere where you're actually *starting* the printer,
don't you?
The SETPTR is a UniVerse verb
If it's one of the "el cheapo" "jet" printers - or, actually, any "jet"
printer - don't expect it to do any fancy printing: Under UV all you can
get out of those sort of printers is a subset of PCL3... no lines, ergo, no
boxes, very limited fonts, if any.......About all you can get is some, very
few, of the "normal" PCL stuff: IIRC you can go landscape/portrait and
with the SETPTR GUI option you can set the font "FONTNAME Courier New" and
size "FONTSIZE 8" to permit using an A4 sheet landscape, with small print,
to emulate a 15x11" sheet...
SETPTR 0,,,,,,AT UVDEFAULT,GUI, FONTNAME Courier New,FONTSIZE
8 should get you somewhere. Provided you've named your printer
UVDEFAULT. If you get sick of being prompted about setting the printer
to:..... you can add a ,BRIEF to the above command
What sort of printer? UV or UD?
Sorry about that.... Too early in the morning....
