[cups.general] Problem with CUPS v.1.1.23

BTW, I have not been able to find any standard PCL laserjet drivers, we
do not use postscript and just need PCL capability.

 

Any help appreciated.  We have a shop that uses anything from the old
laserjet 2 to the new P3000 laserjet printers; hopefully there might be
an updated driver that will cover this vast span of laserjet models.

 

Thank you and have a GREAT day!

We are using the standard /usr/share/cups/model/laserjet.ppd that comes
with the package.  Here are the first few lines of it:

-----end snip

 

Hopefully this will give some idea as to what we are actually using.

 

Is there something else I should be using?  I am not sure what I need as
I presumed I was using the 'correct' one.

 

Thank you so much for your reply, I look forward to being able to
resolve this problem.

 

Have a GREAT day!

What driver/filter are you using with this PPD?

	I am trying to setup an HP LaserJet Printer to print from Tray 2
of three trays.  Tray 1 is Manual, Tray2 is Tray 2 and Tray3 and Tray 3;
however, no matter which lpoption I select it ALWAYS comes from Tray3
EXCEPT for Manual and Envelope.
	
	Does anyone or can anyone tell me what I might need to change in
the PPD file in order for it to go to the 'right' tray 2?
	
	My PPD file has the following section:
	
	-----start snip
	*OpenUI *InputSlot/Media Source: PickOne
	*OrderDependency: 10 AnySetup *InputSlot
	*DefaultInputSlot: Default
	*InputSlot Default/Default: "<</cupsMediaPosition
0>>setpagedevice"
	*InputSlot Tray1/Tray 1: "<</cupsMediaPosition 8>>setpagedevice"
	*InputSlot Tray2/Tray 2: "<</cupsMediaPosition 1>>setpagedevice"
	*InputSlot Tray3/Tray 3: "<</cupsMediaPosition 4>>setpagedevice"
	*InputSlot Tray4/Tray 4: "<</cupsMediaPosition 5>>setpagedevice"
	*InputSlot Manual/Manual Feed: "<</cupsMediaPosition
2>>setpagedevice"
	*InputSlot Envelope/Envelope Feed: "<</cupsMediaPosition
3>>setpagedevice"
	*CloseUI: *InputSlot
	-----end snip
	
	My users are quite unhappy about this not working so I am trying
to get a quick resolution.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you so
much in advance for helping.
	
	Have a GREAT day!
