Symptoms
Trying to generate PCL printer output on Unix is not working and the report output is being generated using PostScript.
The following is the configuration on the server.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh
REPORTS_NO_DUMMY_PRINTER=TRUE; export REPORTS_NO_DUMMY_PRINTER
TK_PRINT_STATUS='echo %n is valid'; export TK_PRINT_STATUS
TK_PRINT=lp -s -d'%n'; export TK_PRINT
TK_PRINTER=printer1; export TK_PRINTER
PRINTER=printer1; export PRINTER
TK_PRINT_STATUS='echo %n is valid'; export TK_PRINT_STATUS
TK_PRINT=lp -s -d'%n'; export TK_PRINT
TK_PRINTER=printer1; export TK_PRINTER
PRINTER=printer1; export PRINTER
$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/uiprint.txt
# Not A Printer:ASCII:1:Configure your uiprint.txt file:none:
printer1:PCL:5:High Speed printer:ui4.hpd:
printer1:PCL:5:High Speed printer:ui4.hpd:
When running a report using desname=printer1, the report output is still created using PostScript.
When checking the Report cached output file, the following is seen in the eps file.
