Why are there no hplj-3.asc and hplj-3.gl in /usr/lpd/pio/predef?
Is there any other .gl and .asc file that I can use instead?
ANSWER
Provided that you have PTF U402104 installed, you will have the printer
support for the HP LaserJet III. This will give you files hplj-3.pcl and
hplj-3.ps in the /usr/lpd/pio/predef directory. The "pcl" file gives you
HP Printer Control Language, which is similar to "asc" on the IBM
printers. A "pcl" virtual printer should be used to print ascii files.
As for "gl" support, this isn't delivered with AIX, but you are able to
configure a generic plotter queue to the printer. After entering "smit
mkvirprt", and selecting that you are interested in a printer attached to
the host, you are asked to choose which printer. If for instance, your
printer is lp0, by entering *lp0 here, you are given a full list of
emulations from which to choose, and you could select a plotter emulation
here.
