2-8 Printer-Specific Differences
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.

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").
