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"

gpr

GPR(1)							      General Commands Manual							    GPR(1)

NAME

       gpr - a graphical frontend for lpr.

SYNOPSIS

       gpr [-h] [--help] [-P <printer>]  [-J <job name>] [-r] [-n] [-p <flag>]	[filename]...

DESCRIPTION

       gpr  is	a  graphical  interface  to lpr that provides for easy configuration of printer-specific options. gpr interfaces with a PostScript
       printer's PPD file to create a user-interface of configurable options. Based upon user choice, the  device-specific  option  code  is  then
       inserted  into the PostScript job and sent to the printer.  This can be used to tell the printer to duplex or staple the print job, or tell
       it what paper tray to draw paper from.  NOTE: gpr will detect if the file to be print is postscript, and, if not, it will call a2ps to pre-
       process it before sending it to ppdfilt and to lpr.

OPTIONS

       gpr accepts the following options:

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -P     Specify a destination printer

       -d     Enable debugging output

       -J     lpr option: Job name to print on burst page

       -r     lpr option: Remove the files upon completion of spooling

       -n     gpr option: Print the command line rather than executing the command

       -p

	      gpr option: Use ppdfilt: 0 = Never, 1 = Always, 2 = with non-default PPD

OTHER INFO

       The webpage for the GNULpr suite is at http://lpr.sf.org.
