The documentation for the HP Jetdirect software should have the 
information you need.  Try that in Google and see what comes up.

If not, the shell script that's run should be readable in vi.  That is, 
if, the software is supported on Solaris 10, which I seem to recall that 
it is not.

If you are printing from a GUI like Firefox or Acrobat reader, look
in one of the menus.  If you are using the command-line, start with
the man page for `lp'.

When printing text, I find GNU enscript or a2ps(1) useful
for creating customized PostScript.
Solaris 10 ships with SUNWa2psu.

Google suggested using postprint, however when I do that I get the
postprint of the file,  this is what I tried: /usr/lib/lp/postscript/
postprint -p landscape 6ile.txt \ lp -d printername

I get what I am guessing is the postscript version. Of the file
instead of the file being converted to landscape and sent to the
prinbter

Is there something I am doing wrong?

$ cat /etc/lp/printers/printername/configuration

What is the make and model of your printer?

Okay ONE question - Where am I specifying that I want landscape
printing?

There should be a trailing "\" for continuation on that line.

This is what I did:
lpadmin -p printername -o protocol=3Dbsd,dest=3DPrinter-IP -v /dev/null -m
netstandard -T unknown -I any
enable printername
accept printername

and it printed in portrait - it printed fine, it just did not print in
landscape mode.

So if I do this:
a2ps -r -P printername /etc/passwd  will it print it landscape?

NOTE: I am not specifying a postcript printer

Hi,

Try <ESC>&l0O

You might try to find a copy of "PCL 5 Printer Language Technical 
Reference Manual".  My copy will be pried from my cold, dead hands!

HP may have gone on the PCL 6, PCL 7, . . . .  My LaserJet 4000 speaks 
PCL 5.

I tried:

echo "^[&l1O"
cat -

Okay I will try that command - in the bus going to work.

FYI: It prints fine from a solaris 2.6 system which I did not set up.
Do you want me to run any commands on the 2.6 system to check
configuration etc

This is what worked for me:

# lpadmin -P foobar -v /dev/null -m netstandard \
-o dest=3DHP8100_IP_ADDR:9100 -o banner=3Dnever -T PS -I postscript
# /bin/enable foobar

What is the output of this command:
$ /usr/sfw/bin/a2ps -r -P foobar /etc/passwd

The HP 5si printer was also configured by above method, it is however
printing two blank pages after the banner page, what is the way around
this?
I went to HP's site and downloaded the configuration file for that
printer, it is called: net_lj5x

I guess I can try to install the HP print utility and try to configure
the printer. Any ideas will be appreciated.

If you turn off the banner page, does it still print the extra pages?  
Is this relevant?

I found these through a simple google search.

You didn't specify if this was a plain 5si or the 5si MX (postscript) or

configuration page from the menu and post a link.
