Printing does not form feed

John Bosco — Tue, 29 Oct 2002 09:28:10 GMT

Dear hp-ux gurus,

I have a unix printing problem, where the printing does not form feed when using the following:-

Print server model: HP JetDirect 500X
Print model: Fuji DL-3600 (dot matrix printer)

I was previously using AXIS print server & we are in the midst of migration all out printer servers to JetDirect.

Please help, thanks in advance.

Best rgds,
John

Hi

Some questions.

Is it only a form feed after the end of file you are missing or all form feeds in the document ?

Does this problem exist with the AXIS print servers too ?

Was the AXIS server configured to send a form feed after each file printed ?

Hi,

yes, form feed after end of file. our application requires the printer to form feed after each file but this does not happen.

no, this problem did not exist with Axis print server.

I'm not sure if the Axis print server was configured to send a form feed after each file. I will try to find out about this.

Rgds,
John

I would suggest that you direct the printout to a file, then use od to look at the output.

(ex: od -c outputfilename|pg)

At this point you will be able to determine what (if any) control codes are being generated insid eof the app.

Hope this helps,
