LPFORM.INI tells LPTSPL how to process forms (the paper stock on
which a job is printed).<br class="">
The default form is "Normal". Form names with the same 4 initial
characters use the same stock; no operator intervention is required
to change among them. (This is used to allow specifying soft
parameters, such as the number of banner pages, per job.) If a job
requires different stock, the operator is notified.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div><div>IIRC the problem was the print spooler didn’t got started on boot and a command to tell OPR it had the default form mounted was required to start printing. Defining LPFORMS.INI avoided that problem and the print spooler started automatically. Does it make sense to you?</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Blurred memories also tell me there was some alignement test involved. After telling OPR the printer had the form mounted it asked to confirm the form was correctly aligned.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Doh, memory…</div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""></body></html>
