Full Discussion: Printing Sterling Pound Sign
Operating Systems SCO Printing Sterling Pound Sign Post 302116850 by nyasai on Wednesday 9th of May 2007 04:27:11 AM

The character exists in the printer font set, the pound sign is given as 0163 which works in Windows but in UNIX it only accepts 163 which is "ú". If I can get an escape sequence that displays on the UNIX without mapchan then my problem would be solved.

Note that with the MAPCHAN I can view the pound sign on screen but It does not print to ttyp configured printers. It prints fine to the local printer connected to the lp0 port, but this only after setting the device locale to cons.858

Rather than using mapchan, try sending the character as an escape sequence as in \0nnn where nnn is the octal value of the character.

FOOMATIC-GETPJLOPTIONS(8)				      System Manager's Manual					 FOOMATIC-GETPJLOPTIONS(8)

NAME

       foomatic-getpjloptions - <put a short description here>

SYNOPSIS

       foomatic-getpjloptions device

       foomatic-getpjloptions hostname port

DESCRIPTION

       foomatic-getpjloptions  Sends  a  set of PJL commands and reads back the PJL options and status from a printer over a network connection or
       device bidirectional interface such as parallel, USB, serial.  printers to standard output. The output can be piped into foomatic-addpjlop-
       tions to add options to the database.

   Options
       device	 The interface to which a local printer is connected, e.g. /dev/lp0, /dev/usb/lp0, /dev/tty00, etc.  For a parallel port, you must
		 have bidirectional support enabled at the BIOS level and the parallel port driver must support  the  bidirectional  mode.   Check
		 your parallel port BIOS settings for  EPP/bi-directional mode.

       hostname  Host name or IP address of a network printer (HP JetDirect, DLINK, etc.).

       port	 Port  on  which  your	network printer listens for socket (Appsocket) connections.  Most common ports are 9100 (JetDirect), 10000
		 (DLINK).  Usually you can configure the port via a configuration interface.

EXIT STATUS

       foomatic-getpjloptions returns ???

AUTHOR

       Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> for the foomatic project using output from the associated binary.  Modified by Patrick Pow-
       ell <papowell at lprng.com> to provide betters support for network printers, error messages, and remove CR and FF from output.

WARNINGS

       Uni-directional	protocols  as remote LPD are not supported as no status is returned.  Some network print servers which attach to a printer
       parallel port do not support bidirectional mode.
