July-

Or you could take the easy road and use an environment file (AKA setup_file)
named PCLLP.HPENV.SYS.  It puts the printer into landscape mode and can
handle most spoolfiles that you would have printed on 14 7/8 wide green bar
paper on a line printer.

July,

You will have to create a file with the escape sequences for landscape then
in the NPCONFIG file reference the name of the file in the the setup_file
line

PUB SYS:PRINT LJ5CLND.HPENV.SYS
Esc(s12H


Turn on display functions
:RUN EDITOR.PUB.SYS
/ADD
  1 Esc(s12H            (Press the escape key to input Esc)
  2  //

/k LJ5CLND.HPENV.SYS
/e
Turn off display functions


38     (network_address =  10.0.0.225        # CLE Systems printer
        tcp_port_number = 9100
        jam_recovery = false
        pjl_supported = true
        setup_file      =  LJ5CLND.HPENV.SYS

How can I find the drivers to print in landscape, I could not find the
LJ5CLND.HPENV.SYS file in my system.
