Hewlett–Packard LaserJet printers can print on paper other than the default 8–1/2 by 11
inch size. The paper size can be changed using SMIT as described in Specifying paper size
on page 2-38. To change paper size for a single print job, specify the –Q flag with the qprt
command.
To print more lines per page than the line space allows (6 or 8 lines per inch), specify the
number of lines per page. The line spacing is compressed to allow the larger number of
lines to fit on a page. For example, if the lines spacing is 6 lines per inch, entering the
command qprt –l 66 FileName causes the file FileName to print at 66 lines per
page instead of the default 60 lines per page.
The HP LaserJet III, IIISi, and 4 support the following fonts and pitches:
courier 10, 12, or 17 pitch
courier–bold 10 or 12 pitch
courier–italic 10 or 12 pitch
lineprinter 17 pitch
For example, entering the command qprt –s Lineprinter –p 17 FileName causes
the file FileName to be printed in lineprinter font at 17 pitch (17 characters per inch).
Attaching a Hewlett–Packard LaserJet printer to an RS–422A serial port requires a special
