LASERJET MANAGER | softWorks
=======================================+===============================
Version 2.4 | personal engineering software
02/07/1996 |
|
|
============================================================================
0. NEW | Some bug fixes and small enhancements.
|
============================================================================
1. DESCRIPTION | A lot of options of a HP Laserjet printer can be
| configured on the front panel.
|
| These include
| - economode
| - powersave
| - resolution
| - input modes (PCL,Postscript)
| - orientation
| - format
| - fonts
| - language
| and others.
|
| Laserjet Manager makes these options directly available
| to the user at his screen. This way you can
| conveniently change settings without moving from your
| computer to the printer. Laserjet Manager is especially
| usefull for the newer Laserjet printers (eg Laserjet
| 5L) that completely lack front panel configurability
| (oh yes, there is a Windows program :-O )
|
| Laserjet Manager sports a graphical user interface and
| comes complete with english/german language adaptions
| and help pages in HTML format.
|
====================+========================================================
2. LOCATION | You can download Laserjet Manger from neosoft
| (currently in Incoming, but will probably move to the
| following location):
|
| http://www.neosoft.com/pub/tcl/NEWS
| ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/tcl/NEWS
| ljetmgr2.4.README 8k
| ljetmgr2.4-base.tar.gz 97k

| ljetmgr2.4-irix.tar.gz 659k
| ljetmgr2.4-english.tar.gz 121k
| ljetmgr2.4-german.tar.gz 133k
|
| or (for linuxers) from sunsite (currently in Incoming,
| but will probably move to):
|
| ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing
| ljetmgr2.4.README 8k
| ljetmgr2.4-base.tar.gz 92k
| ljetmgr2.4-linux.tar.gz 523k
| ljetmgr2.4-english.tar.gz 121k
| ljetmgr2.4-german.tar.gz 133k
|
| You need both the base and system specific packages to
| run the programm. The language specific files contain
| adaptions and help files.
|
====================+========================================================
3. INSTALLATION | This is a ready to run application - unpack the tar
| archive, maybe add the 'bin' directory to your path or
| let the environment variable SOFTDIR point to your
| installation directory and start the program
|
| SOFTDIR=??/SW; export SOFTDIR
| ??/SW/bin/ljetmgr
|
| users in german speaking countries may want to set
| SOFTLANG to 'german' ;-).
|
====================+========================================================

| included in HTML-format. A postscript version is
| available too.
