Q:                                                                              
Topic thread:                                                                   
Printer Systems (PRINT - NA/ATS)                                                
 Printing Systems Manager (PSM)                                                 
                                                                                
Client is printing to PSM controlled 3900s from HP Unix.  Currently the         
banner pages produced don't have any useful distribution information,           
i.e. user name, location, etc. that is avaiable with other banner pages.        
                                                                                
Is there any way to pass that information from HP Unix originated               
documents through PSM to print on the banner pages produced out of the          
3900s.                                                                          
                                                                                
A:                                                                              
I would refer you to libraried WWQ&A item RTA000148200 for information         
on the sample lprafp code that we provide with PSF/AIX and InfoPrint            
Manager.  Once compiled on the HP-UX system, users can submit jobs              
and pass parameters to PSF/AIX or InfoPrint Manager using the -o flag.          
You could then pass parameters like -ouserid or -oroom, etc.                    
                                                                                
The sample lprafp code has been tested on AIX, HP-UX, DEC Ultrix,               
SunOS and Sun Solaris.  It is "sample" code, which means it's not a             
formally supported part of the product, but if the customer has                 
problems, we'll do the best we can to assist.                                   
                                                                                
There are lots of other items libraried in WWQ&A/ViewBlue on lprafp             
if search on that as a keyword.                                                 
                                                                                
Thanks for using ViewBlue.
