My thanks to the many people who offered a number of solutions to my
request. For anyone using VM, I'll be happy to send the entire folder
(it's BIG!). To keep things brief, here's the printcap entry I went
with:
lp|LaserJetIII:\
:pw#80:\
:lp=/dev/pp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/(null):\
:br#9600:\
:fs#06030:\
:fc#0300:\
:of=/usr/lib/hplaserjet:
And here's hplaserjet:
#!/bin/csh -f
#
# @(#)hplaserjet 1.1 88/10/27 Sun Microsystems Inc 1988
#
#
# This is the output filter form use with HP laserjets I and II.
# It is called via the of entry in the generic_hp printcap entry
# All it does is send the escape sequence to the printer, so that:
# CR is mapped to CR
# LF is mapped to CR LF
# FF is mapped to CR FF
/usr/bin/echo -n '<CRTL-V><ESC>k2G'
#enable wraparound
/usr/bin/echo -n '<CTRL-V><ESC>s0C'
/usr/bin/cat
if ($status == 0) then
exit 0
else
exit 1
endif
Note that I've substituted <CTRL-V> and <ESC> for the actual
characters in the script. Edit the actual two characters in each line
before trying to use the script, of course.
Rick
