Jet Admin Network Printer Control Script

Gary_178 — Wed, 04 Aug 2004 07:51:18 GMT

I have an HP2200 to which output prints using the 'staircase effect'.
Is there some command I can use within the Jet Admin Network Printer Control Script or is there a way I can ensure that CR+LF is always sent to the printer, as I cannot amend this information through the devices Web Page as I can with some other printers

The file /etc/lp/interface/spooler_name is the file that is used as interface script. You may try putting your code there so that CR+LF is always sent to the printer.

I am aware of this; what I need is the appropriate coding to insert in the Script

Hi

Are the requests coming from a PC

Then you need DOS2UX before printing or add it to the script to run before the file copies to the printer

If coming from UX via dos then ux2dos

I suspect ux2dos in your case

cat "$file" 2>&1 to cat "$file" 2>&1 | ux2dos

addqueue -l shows supported printers
