Hi Steve,
I just did this about a month ago, works great, we used a LJ4000N. Here is the config I used. The NPCONFIG file is just modified from the sample HP gave.

#==========================================================================
#                     NPCONFIG File
#                                    1998/03/17 Gary Nolan
#==========================================================================

global (setup_file = LP4000.PUB.SYS          # LaserJet 4000 setup file.
        message_interval = 60                # Repeat msgs every >= 60 secs.
        banner_tray = 1                      # Upper tray has colored banner
                                             #   paper.
        data_tray = 4                        # Lower tray has regular white
                                             #   paper.
        banner_trailer = FALSE               # Only need a header page.
        pjl_supported = TRUE                 # LJ4000 is a full PJL device.
        jam_recovery = TRUE)                 # Reprints jammed pages by itself.


19     (network_address =  192.1.1.100)


Here are the contents of the LJ4000.PUB.SYS setup file.

~Z~E~&l0O~&l1L~(10U~(s0p16.7h8.5v0sb0T

The ~ should be replaced with the  escape character. This setting sets the printer up for 132 col printing in portrait mode.

Hope this helps.

Subject:        3000 printing to network printers

I am getting ready to implement printing to networked printers by IP address. I am following the procedures from the article "Network Printing Technical Overview" from the May 1997 HP LaserRom MPE/iX Release 5.5.

One of the files needed to do this is a set-up file. This can be a global file or a printer specific file and are referenced in the NPCONFIG.PUB.SYS file.

Does anyone do this type of printer or know where I can find examples of these files?
