SSV V5.0-X QUEUE WON'T START ON A QUEUE THAT WORKED IN A PREVIOUS VERSION

Contents | Index | About the Icons

ScriptServer's added functionality for HP-PCL5 (and PJL) in version 5.0-x involves sending a PJL command to the printer. Some printers such as theApple LaserWriter IIg and LaserWriter NTX, become "disabled" by this command. The queue will remain stuck in the starting state for a very long period of time, eventually timing out.

To correct this situation, use the following command to define a logical telling ScriptServer to assume that the printer is not a PCL printer, thus preventing ScriptServer from sending the offending PJL command to the printer:

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM SSV$ device_PCL_SUPPORT FALSE

where "device" is the name of the device by which the printer is connected (i.e. TCP/IP address, LAT port number, etc.).

Note: ScriptServer logicals can be placed in the configuration file SCRIPTSERVER:SSV$CONFIG.SSV instead of defining them in the SYSTEM table.
