Notes PostScript in the HP LaserJet 4 printer supports the PostScript level 1 operators setprintername, AppleTalktype, and jobname, and the PostScript level 2 setdevparams operator to allow PostScript print jobs to change the Name Binding Protocol (NBP) printer name and printer type, as well as change the print job name.

MIO sub-system in the printer accepts a new NBP printer name, NBP printer type, and job name from either the PCL or PostScript personalities. The printer passes that information across the MIO interface to the installed MIO card which indicated support for the MIO AppleTalk extensions. The MIO sub-system will treat the PCL NBP type and the PostScript NBP type separately.

For information about AppleTalk Name Binding Protocol refer to Inside AppleTalk published by Addison Wesley Company, Inc.

RENAME

RENAME changes the printer name portion of the printer’s AppleTalk Name Binding Protocol name field.

?&b#WRENAME<sp>printername

Valid characters for the printer name include 0-255 except for characters $00, “@” ($40), “:” ($3A), “*” ($2A), “=” ($3D), and $C5. The printername must contain at least one character, and only the first 31 characters are used. If an invalid character ($00 is not treated as an invalid character) is contained in the printername, the printer will ignore the escape sequence. If the printer encounters the NULL ($00) character, the printer uses the NULL character to terminate the printer name. All the characters preceding the NULL will be used. If another device on the AppleTalk network uses the same printer name, another character is added to the end of the printer name.

The default printername is the printer model (for example, “HP LaserJet 4”).
