It should still be in CONDIST CDs from the 1990s. This utility never
made it to Alpha. And it is postscript level1 only. Not sure how you
could legally obtain a licence from HP though. You might be able to find
a license from a friend. Not many people used that utility. It also can
generate output for LA75 printers. |

Thanks very much, I'll try that out.
By the way, where would I find the DECPRINT POSTSCRIPT TO SIXEL utility? |

Do you know if it has a postscript option installed ?
try:
SET HOST/DTE <serial port:>
then type (carefully, because it won't be echoed)
<CTRL D>
(Hello world\n) print flush <press return>
If you see "hello world" it means it is a postscript printer.
If you do not see anything, then press <CTRL L> which should cause the
printer to eject a page with
"(Hello world\n) print flush" on top of the page.
If you do not have postscript, then the printer behaves very much like
an LN03 printer.
http://vt100.net/emu/ctrlseq_dec.html may be a starting point on escape sequences.
In such a case, you can simply create a queue with the standard default
print symbiont.
You can use SYS$SYSTEM:SYSDEVCTL.TLB to store setup modules that contain
standard escape sequences you use.
A note: your printer may not have sufficient memory to have a full page
bitmap image (sizel). But if it does, you can use utilities such as
ghostscript or the old DECPRINT POSTSCRIPT TO SIXEL utility to convert
prostscript files to full page sizel which can then be printed on the printer. |

We are trying to install a LN05 (Declaser LA2100) printer with no
manual supplied, to replace a printronix line printer.
Can anyone tell me what setups I need to use a LN05 on VMS 5.1.
Do I use Device_Type=LN03in queue setup?
Does anyone know which control characters are needed for graphics/plots
printing, or where I can get a manual from in the UK?
Thanks
