Bruce-

Assuming you are referring to a LJ that is attached to a HP3000 on a network
connection, use an environment file.  You will find them in HPENV.SYS.  The
ones that work best begin with PCL.  If you need something a little
different, copy the environment file and modify it using the PCL escape
codes to make it do what you want.
