How to create a postscript printer in Baan for use in DEM.
Using Baan B40 C IV, SP7. Unix HP-UX 11.0, Windows 2000 Client

The following settings are working fine with almost the same SW configuration. The papertype PS is required as a must.

Mainatin Paper Types:
Papertype: PS; Orientation: Portrait

Device Data:
Device Type: Direct
Locale: ISO-8859-1
Driver: postscript

Regards,

Martin

We were told by BaaN to use a printer driver where all the settings were set to blanks (see part of driver code below).
We have BaaN 4c2 running on HP11.0

Make your default printer on your own windows PC a default postscipt printer!

Now print the dem flow and select the new windows printer

We use a standard HP laserjet 5m printer that has postscript fuctionality installed (the printer is about 8 years old now) and we use the baan provided HP4 laserjet printdriver (hp_lj4) that we use for all laserjet printers. I think this is a sort of standard driver much like epsom mx/lx100 is to dotmatrix printers.

We recently submitted a case to baan for a driver for the latest Sharp multifuction (print/copy/scan/fax) unit that we bought but their advice was still the same: Ie use hp_lj4 driver.
