1. One of my faculty members bought an HP Deskjet 1120C,
which is one of the more expensive color DeskJets (about
$500). The reason we bought this model is that it supports
11 X 17 paper. Have any of you successfully configured this
printer in vnmr for printing on the large format paper? The
only close "printer type" that shows up in the printer
utility is a Deskjet 300C.
2. We want to connect the above printer to an HP JetDirect
external print server which has three parallel ports. We
are already successfully printing to a laser printer on port
1, but the new printer is on port 2 of a different print
server. I successfully set up the printer in unix, using
HP's jetadmin software for Solaris, and I can send text
files to the printer. But it appears that vnmr doesn't even
utilize the unix printer setup?? Furthermore, in vnmr I
cannot see a way to specify which port to use on the
three-port print server: just the IP name of the print
server.
Thanks for any suggestions.
