Re: dump or ASCII/text driver for printer - plz help asap
remove the printer... then again configure the printer... select the Text driver.
# lpr data.txt && lpstat -s && lpq
system default destination: sp40
device for sp40: parallel:/dev/lp0
device for printer: ipp://rhl9:631/printers/printer
sp40 is ready and printing
Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size
active root 1 data.txt 1024 bytes
then
# lpq
sp40 is ready
no entries
Again printer prints the blah blah i.e its configurations but not the text i send
Globalis Safir SP40, can work as Epson LQ 1170/2250/570.. so instead of Text driver, I select Epson as Manufacturer, LQ 1170/570 as a driver... then send the printing
# lpr data.txt && lpstat -s && lpq
system default destination: sp40
device for sp40: parallel:/dev/lp0
device for printer: ipp://rhl9:631/printers/printer
sp40 is ready and printing
Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size
active root 2 data.txt 1024 bytes
then
# lpq
sp40 is ready
no entries
Printer LED starts blinking... printer accept the paper... but doesn't print anything
under suse 10, situation is different... i.e when under suse 10, i select the EPSON LQ 1170/570... then send the print to the printer.. printer properly prints the text..i.e prints the text that I send.. but printing is not satisfactory.. or its hard to understand the text on the paper.

Re: dump or ASCII/text driver for printer - plz help asap
rhl 9 is still an issue... when I configure the printer as Text Only Printer.. printer starts printing blah-blah(Garbage).. but not the text i send.
when i configure the printer as EPSON ... printer accept the paper(as its going to print).. but doesn't print a single word.
(To stop garbage)Globalis Team suggest me to DISABLE Local Filter/Conversion on rhl.. if printer is configured as Text Only Printer

Re: dump or ASCII/text driver for printer - plz help asap
want to do.
If you want to send plain text to the
printer, then you need to remove any fancy
filters which are playing with your plain
text (such as, for example, converting it to
PostScript).
If you want to be able to specify font sizes
and similar formatting data, then you need to
use filters which will take your format
specifications and talk to the printer in
ways which it understands (PCL, PostScript,
whatever).

Re: dump or ASCII/text driver for printer - plz help asap
SUSE is no problem.. its working quite fine.. after increasing its resolution.
rhl9.. is still problem... and I am requesting you EXPERTS to please help(as you people use to )
a, when I configure the SP40, as Text Only Printer... printer doesnt prints the text. but prints blah blah(weird data)
b, when I configure the SP40, as EPSON... printer doesnt prints even a single word.. when I send the text to print .. LED starts blinking.. printer accept the paper.. but doesnt print a word.
there is the response from Globalis for problem "a".
DISABLE ANY LOCAL FILTERING/CONVERSION ON SYSTEM(rhl9)
According to the data printed it looks like it's a postscript job that's why
the printer is printing wierd characters.
The print command is still using a postscript driver not the text driver.
for Text Only Printer... I didnt find filtering option.. plz let me know.. how to disable filtering.. for a Text Only Printer.
Again for the convenience, I m posting technical data:
when configure the printer as the Text Only Printer.
# lpr data.txt && lpstat -s && lpq
system default destination: sp40
device for sp40: parallel:/dev/lp0
device for printer: ipp://rhl9:631/printers/printer
sp40 is ready and printing
Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size
active root 1 data.txt 1024 bytes
then
# lpq
sp40 is ready
no entries
Printer prints the blah blah i.e weird data, but not the text i send
