* To include information on the LaserWriter Utility
I'm having problems naming a LaserWriter Plus using The Namer 2.1 utility.
I'm trying to name the printer "2040/1825 EUC LW+", but The Namer creates a
name of "2040/1825 EUC LW+ ". Notice the space AFTER the + character.
What is in this name that causes this to happen? I am sure that I did
not type the space when using the Namer.
STARTDISCUSSThe Namer utility, including version 7.0, appears to add a trailing space to
some printer names. We have been unable to determine what causes the space to
be added.
Here is an alternate method for renaming the printer:
The printer name is stored as a string in the persistent parameters of all
LaserWriters. This string can be changed by the following PostScript program:
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin (NEWNAME) setprintername
In your case, replace "NEWNAME" with "2040/1825 EUC LW+". This program can
download to the LaserWriter in batch or interactive mode. Note that the
brackets are required. Make sure you have selected the correct LaserWriter
using the Chooser before downloading this program (so you don't rename the
wrong LaserWriter). The name can be up to 31 characters and should consist
entirely of printing characters--the "@" and ":" cannot be used.
This problem has been cured in version 7.4 of the LaserWriter Utility.
