HP DesignJet 130nr & Workgroup Manager

Needing some help on a networked printer issue. Here's the setup, we use Worgroup Manager to manage our lab computers to control preferences and assigned printers. All of our printing is also managed by Pharohs Uniprint print accounting system. This system manages a print quota for all students. We recently purchased a couple of HP DesignJet 130nr inkjet printers but we can't seem to get them to work in our system.

On the WGM server we are able to add the printer via IP printing using LPD/LPR and assign it to the lab machines we it the printer associated with. The problem is that on the client students are only getting a generic postscript printer option rather than the full printer capabilities. At one point we were able to get one lab machine to print properly but in trying to replicate this has proven unsuccessful. I've tried installing the HP client software but still not having any luck.

I've read that this HP DesignJet printer does not support PCL5 or Postscript and requires that you use a raster RIP. I'm not sure if this is part of my problem or if it's something else.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jerry
