Hi,
Lowercase t is for a trace file. I noticed that I gave you a little bit
of incorrect information. The printer manufacturer needs to be specified
with an asterisk in front of it. Here is the command line:
lp5250d -s linuxopt2 -T "*HP4" -P "scs2ascii | lpr -Plinuxoptra" 10.2.0.26
Let me know if you have any other trouble.
