Hi Gurus,
I was given an old Okidata OL400 and figured it would be a nice addition to
my FBSD box. I have followed all the instructions I can find for
/etc/printcap lpfilter etc. I got rid of the staircase effect (which was
fully expected) immediately and went to work on the form feed. When I send a
print job, it will only print if I manually take the Oki off-line and use
the form feed function on the printer. In review of the Oki web site, I
found the escape sequence of 0C was equal to Form Feed. I placed this in the
lpfilter as such:
printf "\0D&0A" && fpr && printf "\0C" && exit 0
exit 2
and I get an error message about a command or some such. When I remove "\0C"
this error goes away. (the 0D&0A are properly understood as CR & LF, I also
got these esc sequences from the Oki web site)
Does anybody know what the proper esc sequence is? Or have a suggestion?
"\f" does not do the trick either for the form feed.
Thanks
Bob
