IBM Network Printer 12, 17, and 24
Product specific information for the printers and queue system is provided.
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, see IBM Network Color Printer for detail information. 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.
