Does anyone know if there is anything special for printing multiple copies to a AIX printer? Ww are using the standard lp commands
and the printer is define as a direct printer.

I am pretty confident that the BaaN device is correct, but is there
something in the AIX printer definitions that needs 'turned on'?

Thanks for any ann all help

Try putting a space between -n and %d. Sometimes O/S is very strict with parameters.

I am not sure but on some unix implementations this option doesn't work. Try to determine this by print a file directly from the shell and use those options.

If it doesn't work you should modify the aix printer driver. Since that's not simple on AIX I suggest that you create a small script that handles these options.

Rgrds,

Hi,

looks like the lp command is not correct.
Here is an example from my AIX-Definition in Baan, witch works perfectly.

/usr/bin/lp -c -dniederlassg4 -n%d %s
