I'm using a HP Laserjet 4050 in a cups-system. I installed the printer
twice: printer1 with MediaSource Tray 1 and printer2 with MediaSource
Tray2. If I use the printers in OpenOffice, they take the paper from
the MediaSource I set. But if I use them from Shell I'm not able to
change the InputSlot.
What I have done:
I proofed, whether the driver is installed:
<lpinfo -m>:
HP-PostScript/HP_LaserJet_4050_Series.ppd.gz HPLaserJet 4050
Series PS
I was looking, how to specify the InputSlot:
<lpoptions -h server -p printer1 -l>
<lpoptions -h server -p printer2 -l>:
InputSlot/Medien-Quelle : Upper ManualFeed *Middle Lower
LargeCapacity ...
I tried the following commands, but the printer just takes paper
from Tray 1
(upper InputSlot):
lpr -P printer1 test.ps
lpr -P printer2 test.ps
lpr -P printer1 -o InputSlot=Upper test.ps
lpr -P printer1 -o InputSlot=Middle test.ps
lpr -P printer2 -o InputSlot=Upper test.ps
lpr -P printer2 -o InputSlot=Middle test.ps
Thank you for any help.
