Re: HP LaserJet 2100TN question



Hi,

don't know anything about the third tray. With the resolution, you set can setup
2 entries points to the same printer but with different filters.

Eg. You can add an additional entry "final" to your printcap file and set the resolution in the filter to 1200.(-r 1200)

restart the lpd daemon, then you can print a normal copy using lpr -Php2100 or a 1200dpi copy using lpr -Pfinal

Hope this helps.

Shao.
