Hi,
i am configuring HPLJ4200N printer to G13 system where the system is not printing any messages via enquiry. Hence could you please help me how to change the attributes in PRINTER.ATTRIBUTE?
Steps Followed

2.Set the attributes in PRINTER.ATTRIBUTE(am not sure i did it correcly)
3.Map the same printer id in my USER record
4.Executed the enquiry from globus prompt.
Regards
Karthik

If your PRIME.PRINTER.ID is working OK when printing directly from your OS check :
to set e.g. LANDSCAPE
PRINTER.ID - PRINTER.TYPE..... HPLASER
DE.FORM.TYPE - RPT.ATTRIBUTES.. LANDCOMP (for the DE.FORM.TYPE used in REPORT.CONTROL "P.FUNCTION")
PRINTER.ATTRIBUTES
@ID............... HPLASER.LANDCOMP
DESCRIPTION....... LANDSCAPE
INIT.SEQUENCE..... <027>&l1O

Have you checked the FORM.WIDTH in DE.FROM.TYPE that you have assigned for P.FUNCTION ?

Hi Jpb,
Thank you very much for your solution and it is working fine. I referred the PCL document and got the attributes.
Only one issue is , i am getting extra empty white sheet while printing the enquiry.
Could you please confirm whether we suspect this issue in printer Driver or printer attributes?

So that won't help ;-)
Have you checked DE.FORM.TYPE, maybe there is OPTION = EJECT set ?

Hi Jpb,
I am not using any DE.FORM.TYPE as my output is not a SWIFT/PRINT advice.
i have done all the printer configuration by your earlier suggestion and same printer id has added in USER profile. From USER profile, i have executed the enquiry CUSTOMER.POSITION and print it from G13 Desktop.

There are two icons to use when printing an enquiry.
The rightmost will "Send snapshot to local printer".
The other will do the same as using P in classic, i.e. :
- read the record P.FUNCTION from REPORT.CONTROL
- read the DE.FORM.TYPE defined in field FORM.NAME
- either use the PRINTER.ID from this record or (if empty) the PRINTER.FOR.P.FUNC from USER
- apply the settings for form, margin, attributes and options
So you are using DE.FORM.TYPE. Beside the attributes and options also check that top and bottom margin are set to 0.
