Printing Color Files in PCL
5 Emulation Mode
To print color files, or any preformatted print job in PCL
language, use the –dp flag of the qprt command. This sets
the base operating system printer backend to passthrough
mode and should be used any time you are printing from
an application in PCL emulation.
The print queue default can be changed to passthrough by
modifying the _d attribute in the colon file. See AIX 5L
Version 5.3 Commands Reference, Volume 3 for
information about the lsvirprt command.
Paper Source Paper source selection is supported for both the PCL 5
emulation and the PostScript Language by using the –u
flag of the qprt command.

To change the default size, change the values for the
s1–s3 attributes in the file. For example, to make A4 the
default size for all paper sources, change s1, s2, and s3 to
4. This changes the top tray, bottom tray, and feeder tray
sizes respectively.
