Really need to get back in harness. What's in the handbook isn't "\033&10H"; it's "\033&l0H". That works on my printer. Which, however, raise another question. According to http://www.sxlist.com/techref/language/pcl/index.htm \&l0H translates to "previous paper source". If so, the page eject is a side effect and using the command is IMHO fair to middling kludgey. According to the same source, \&r1F is "flush all pages". "\033&r1F" also does the job of ejecting the page on my system. So it would appear that there are at least three different commands that get the job done. As a long-time devotee of pin-headed angelic affairs, I can not resist asking "Which one should be offered in the handbook?" The best one, naturally. Anybody willing to offer opinions/ evidence on which one that might be? I would be willing to bet that "\033014" would work on the most printers. On the other hand, "\033&1F" looks the most thoroughly commanding of the lot in case of unknown gyrations between here and there.
