ibmncp_direct 2.0 or higher controller code and 16MB of memory.
ibmncp_print 2.0 or higher controller code and 32MB or 48MB of

Note: To determine the controller code level and amount of memory on your IBM
Network Color Printer, print a configuration page from the printer operator panel. See the
configuration page under ”GENERAL INFO.” Memory is the second item, and the third
item is version of the controller code. The predefined files on AIX Version 4.2.1 or later
only supports the IBM Network Color Printer 2.0 or higher controller code level.
IBM Network Printer 12, 17, and 24
IBM Network 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 Using
SMIT”, on page 4-65 . 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 line 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 IBM Network Printer 12, 17, and 24 support the following fonts and pitches:
courier 10, 12, or 17 pitch
courier–bold 10, 12, or 17 pitch
courier–italic–bold 10, 12, or 17 pitch
lettergothic 10, 12, or 17 pitch
lettergothic–bold 10, 12, or 17 pitch
lettergothic–italic 10, 12, or 17 pitch
lineprinter 17 pitch
For example, entering the following command qprt –s Lineprinter –p 17
FileName causes the file FileName to be printed in lineprinter font at 17 pitch (17
characters per inch).
