    We are setting up our new Ricoh Printers in Lawson.  Accoridng to Ricoh, The new printers require that we specify the paper type, so a sample print command is: 
    laprint -p "Letter (8.5""" x 11""")" \\loki\payprt.  That works because it is only 50 characters, but we need to specify font size and orientation which would bring it over 50 characters. 

    We tried a .bat file per KB 127196 but but it did not work for the Ricoh printer, possibly because it did not like the triple quote syntax.  The three quotes are necessary to render a single quote symbol inside of quoted text. 


    Do any of you have any ideas on how to make this printer command work in prtdef? Lawson said they would enter an enhancement JT, but that won't be available for awhile. 

    Thanks!

        Are you windows or UNIX. We setup Ricoh printers about a year ago on our UNIX system. Our UNIX admin setup the server print q using the standard emulator (I think) and all our prtdef commands run a script that calls the /usr/bin/qprt command: qprt -dc -#v -#j -J+ -l64 -p17 -P$2 -slineprinter -v6 -w132 -z0;; where $2 is the name of the UNIX print Q.

          Use this as a workaround for now. It's alittle off, but good enough.

          laprint -p "A4 (210 x 297 mm)" \\loki\payprt
