However ,= we use linux os. I did the following steps: 1- adjust emulation of printer to Epson -LQ 2- download Epson LQ-2550*.ppd and Epson LQ-850*.ppd 3- I copied both files to /usr/share/cups/model 4- I set printer as Generic Dot matrix /lq850 driver=20 =A0=A0=A0 *** it was the best state i got. =A0=A0=A0 it print first character and then hazards. 5- I tried older methods of serial xterm which is directly connected to pri= nter: =A0=A0=A0 *** using escaoe sequences , change mode to controller and print = file =A0=A0=A0 *** using such script: =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 #!/bin/sh =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 echo -ne "/033 [5i"; =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 cat filename; =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 echo -ne "/033 [4i] 6- however in parallel connection it doesn't work.=A0 =20 from your document: 1) Is my printer polled method printer and need to be adjusted to? 2) if i redirect output of previous script to /dev/lp0 , is it work? 3) if it needs adjustment of escape sequences how they can be involved and = where? 4) how can i use escape sequences within input or otput filters in /etc/pri= ntcap to be effective on printer? please give me a soon reply regard that the printer is mentioned perfectly = work with linux. thanks; =0A=0A=0A
