Printing from HPUX to a local PC LPT1 port

[Nick D'Angelo]

I have an application, MFG/PRO that runs on our HPUX server and we need to print to the local PC's LPT1 port.

I can get it to print, but the last page does not eject and remains in the buffer. They have suggested that it is a printer command that needs to be set.

Does anyone know the command to eject the last page?

THe following is my printer setup within my application.

Hi Nick

I remberber my days with MFG/Pro.

It sounds like your print job requires a page break at the end of the print job.

This should then throw out the last page.

From the example config you have given it appears that you can embed control sequences.

The form feed instruction is control-L or ascii 027 so the lst instruction in your config fuile should be:

\027

I hope this helps, -Trevor

Oops....

that should be \012 not \027
