MySQL Regarding Dot Matrix Printing
Hi all,

What I want is that can we manage printing a text file on a Dot Matrix printer installed on a Linux machine and the printer should not take the normal A4 format, but should print only to the extent the text file has text in it. What happen usually is that when we give print comand to any printer, it prints the text feed and then the roller of the printer rolls out the paper and sets the printing rod to the beginning of the next page. What I am looking for is soemthing like Raiway ticket printing where we can play with rows and columns. In windows we can do it with .rpt file. How can I can do in Linux.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Aman
