Hi,
I have a Barcode printer.
It's defined as a remote printer on the system.
The /etc/lp/interface/<printer> file is printing has a part that enables Hebrew printing.
For some reason the Printer is printing in a very small font.
I'll attach the interface file:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
# /* @(#) $Revision: 72.3 $ */
#Note: These options must be preceded by "BSD" in the option argument.
# ie. use "-oBSDh" to suppress banner page.
# lp interface for remote spooling.
# Options Recognized:
#
# -C class Take the following argument as a job
# classification for use on the banner page.
#
# -J job Take the following argument as the job name
# to print on the banner page. Normally, the
# first file's name is used.
#
# -T title Use the next argument as the title used by
# pr(UTIL) instead of the file name. -T is
# ignored unless the -p option is specified.
#
# -i[numcols] Cause the output to be indented. If the next
# argument is numeric, it is used as the number
# of blanks to be printed before each line;
# otherwise, 8 characters are printed.
#
# -kfont Specify a font to be mounted on font position
# k, where k is from 1 to 4.
#
# -wnum Take the immediately following number to be
# the page width for pr(UTIL).
#
# The following single letter options are used to notify the
# line printer spooler that the files are not standard text
# files. The spooling system uses the appropriate filters (if
# the option is supported) to print the data accordingly.
# These options are mutually exclusive.
#
# -c The files are assumed to contain data
# produced by cifplot.
#
# -d The files are assumed to contain data from
# tex (DVI format).
#
# -f Use a filter that interprets the first
# character of each line as a standard FORTRAN
# carriage control character.
#
# -g The files are assumed to contain standard
# plot data as produced by the plot routines.
#
# -l Use a filter that suppresses page breaks.
#
# -n The files are assumed to contain data from
# ditroff (device independent troff).
#
# -p Use pr(UTIL) to format the files.
#
# -t The files are assumed to contain data from
# troff (cat phototypesetter commands).
#
# -v The files are assumed to contain a raster
# image for devices such as the Benson Varian.
#
# -k The files are assumed to contain data from
# Kerberized LPR clients and servers.
#
# -o The files are assumed to contain Postscript data
#
# -z The files are assumed to contain data from
# the Palladium print system.
#
# Other single letter options:
#
# -h Suppress the printing of the banner page.
#
# Test for the filter program

This is the file.
Can anyone tell me how to increase the font size?
