A long time ago I set up the npconfig file for our laserjets and 
some of the printers have this line:

setup_file = LJ2PORT.HPENV.SYS

which contains this:

0o2a6d3e60f(s10H

Which, I presume, re-initializes the printer in some fashion 
(portrait mode) for each new job that is spooled to it.  The 
embarrassing thing about this is that I set all this up in 1997 and 
have absolutely no recollection of doing so.

Now, in @.HPENV.SYS there are files of type PENV (printer 
environment files?) of which one is called PORT.  But 
PORT.HPENV.SYS is much, much larger than my minuscule LP2PORT.  So, 
my question is.  What does the PORT.HPENV.SYS do that I would want 
to have my own replacement for it?  Should I be using 
PORT.HPENV.SYS instead?  Does PORT.HPENV.SYS post-date MPEiX 5.5 
perhaps?

I did not say this would be easy.  Go ahead, tell me what I was 
thinking eight years ago.

Regards,
Jim
