The HP LaserJet 5SiMX printer exhibits the same behavior with sheet count
as mentioned in Section 10.14.2.
10.19 HP LaserJet 4000, 4050 and 5000
10.19.1 Minimum Firmware Version
To use an HP LaserJet 4000 or 5000 printer from DCPS, the printer must
be running a minimum firmware version of 19980714 MB3.68. To use an
HP LaserJet 4050 printer, it is recommended that the printer be running
a minimum firmware version of 19991030 MB6.30. This firmware version
number is displayed as Firmware Datecode on the printer’s configuration page.
If your printer is running an older version of firmware, contact HP and request
the proper version. The new firmware will be sent on a SIMM to be installed
in your printer.
10.20 HP LaserJet 8000, 8100 and 8150
10.20.1 Optional Mailbox
DCPS numbers the optional mailbox bins on the HP LaserJet 8000 printer
from 1-5, 1-7 or 1-8, depending on the particular option installed. This is
consistent with the numbers molded into the plastic beside the bins. The
printer’s console, in contrast, refers to these same bins as numbers two
through nine. Refer to the HP LaserJet User Guide for your printer model for
more information about the numbering and purpose of trays with different
options and configurations.
10.20.2 Problems Starting Queues
Some models in this series may not allow DCPS jobs to start. To resolve
this, either set the printer to PostScript mode or suppress DCPS’s PostScript
synchronization. See the DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS Release Notes or
the OpenVMS System Manager’s Reference Manual for more information.
10.20.3 Minimum Firmware Version
To use a HP LaserJet 8000 printer from DCPS, the printer must be running
a minimum firmware version of 19980610 MB4.28. This firmware version
number is displayed as Firmware Datecode on the printer’s configuration page.
If your printer is running an older version of firmware, contact HP and request
the proper version. The new firmware will be sent on a SIMM to be installed
in your printer.
