Steve,

Having output rotated and shrunk when it doesn't need to be usually means that your printer file isn't
defined properly.

In other words, the printer file is defined as 132 columns, 60 lines. But in reality, only 80
columns are being used.

If you define your printer files correctly, you shouldn't have issues.

HTH,
Charles

Subject: WSCST type function on IPDS printer type


We recently replaced a IBM IPDS line printer with an HP
laser. I had to tweak the HP's printer device config with a
WSCST object to correct printing size on spool files that we
getting rotated and shrunk. This configuration was a non IPDS
typical 3812 LAN setup. That worked out good.

But I had to add the IPDS functionality to the printer by
creating another device description as type *IPDS, which has
no option for WSCST because it doesn't use print transform.
If I send non IPDS type spool files to the IPDS printer they
have the original problem of being rotated and shrunk. Is
there a way to accomplish the same function I get with WSCST
on the IPDS printer?

For now we are using two different device descriptions to get
it all done, but they have to be careful to hold writers etc.
when setting up for special print jobs and forms. I would
prefer to have on device description.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

-Steve
