Re: Unix to NT - deskjet

Thanks everyone for help. I now have a solution.

First add to interface file for the printer the following.

{
echo "^[&k2s^[&k2G" # compressd escape sequence
cat $1
} >$1.tmp
mv $1.tmp $1

where ^[ is 'Control V' followed by 'ESC'. The first command sets compressed print and the second sets LF to CR+LF

Then on the PC with the printer attached make the following registry addition

From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ServicesLPDSVC\Parameters
On the Edit menu, click Add Value. Add the following:
Value Name: SimulatePassThrough
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1
