printing control characters

mglinsk · #1 (**permalink**) 09-20-2000

using c-shell, does anyone know how to send control characters to the printer before the job?

I need to set a printer to print in condensed mode

HELP

Can't you just echo the control sequence with the appropriate escape chars and then redirect the output
to the device file (/dev/lpr or whatever)?
