Full Discussion: Setting printer paper length using unix commands
Operating Systems HP-UX Setting printer paper length using unix commands Post 302584764 by jgt on Sunday 25th of December 2011 12:27:13 PM

Code:
echo "\0033C\0041\c" >set33

confirm that file set33 contains 3 characters using a hex or octal dump program. Hex dump should look like 1b 43 21.
Do the same with the printer reset.
Code:
echo "\0033@\c">reset

If you have the gnu version of echo, will you have to use "echo -e" instead of "echo"
Change the unix printer script to:
Code:
cat set33 myprintfile reset |lp -depson

Change the Windows printer configuration to temporarily print to file. Send a print job to the printer, and examine the file using "debug"

system-config-printer-applet

SYSTEM-CONFIG-PRIN(1)						     Man pages						     SYSTEM-CONFIG-PRIN(1)

NAME

       system-config-printer-applet - print job manager

SYNOPSIS

       system-config-printer-applet [--help] [--version] [--debug]

DESCRIPTION

       system-config-printer-applet is a print job manager for CUPS. Normally it will display a printer icon in the notification area, greyed out
       when there are no print jobs for the current user. Clicking on the icon displays a simple print job manager for cancelling or reprinting
       jobs.

       To save memory, the applet waits first of all until the user has printed a job before putting the icon in the notification area. To invoke
       the print job manager before a job has been printed, run the applet with the --no-tray-icon option: a desktop file is provided for this, so
       that it should appear in the system menu.

       As well as displaying a printer icon in the notification area, the applet also provides a D-BUS server for the
       com.redhat.PrintDriverSelection interface, to help configure a new printer when it is plugged in.

OPTIONS

       --help
	   Display a short usage message.

       --version
	   Display the version of the applet.

       --debug
	   Show debugging information.
