- Just to change the subject a little. I have a Laserjet IIISi working with
- DECprint but only when the printer is set permanently to postscript mode.
- What I need is tobe able to switch between pcl mode and postscript at the start
- of each job as the printer is shared between two machines. Manual intervention
- is not an option, and neither is changing the other machine.
-
- To summarize. The printer works fine on its own in postscript the problem is us
- ing DECprint and switching it between the two modes using the setup files at th
- e queue level. Suggestions appreciated and if i get something to work then
- I'll gladly let anybody else know.
