Hi,

All your page lenght and pitch commands can be changed when you amend the terminfo file for the printer. If you look at the file below you will see the information is pretty easy to read, although you should be carefull what you change.

Code:
su01sa001> cd /usr/share/lib/terminfo
su01sa001> ls
1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  A  B  G  H  M  P  S  a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h  i  j  k  l  m  n  o  p  q  r  s  t  u  v  w  x  y  z
su01sa001> cd e
su01sa001> ls

        u9=%?%p1%{0}%>%p1%{128}%<%&%t\EC%p1%c%;,
su01sa001>

The sequence of commands would be as follows, please remember to make a backup of the files before you edit them.

Code:
# infocmp ep2500+basic > new_file.txt
# vi new_file.txt
# tic new_file.txt > ep2500+basic

You will have to decide on the changes that you need such as pitch etc, it may well be that the file being used is the colour file or one of the other ep2500 files.

So you will have to be specific and edit the correct file with the correct values.

For the values that you will be changing, you can look here this should give you a good start.

NAME

       enable, disable - enable/disable LP printers

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/enable printer...

       /usr/bin/disable [-c | -W]  [ -r [reason]] printer...

DESCRIPTION

       The  enable  command  activates	printers,  enabling  them to print requests submitted by the lp command. enable must be run on the printer
       server.

       The disable command deactivates printers, disabling them from printing requests submitted by the lp command. By default, any requests  that
       are  currently  printing  on printer will be reprinted in their entirety either on printer or another member of the same class of printers.
       The disable command must be run on the print server.

       Use lpstat -p to check the status of printers.

       enable and disable only effect queueing on the print server's spooling system. Executing these commands from a client system will  have	no
       effect on the server.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported for use with disable:

       -c	       Cancels	any requests that are currently printing on printer. This option cannot be used with the -W option. If the printer
		       is remote, the -c option will be silently ignored.

       -W	       Waits until the request currently being printed is finished before disabling printer. This option cannot be used  with  the
		       -c option. If the printer is remote, the -W option will be silently ignored.

       -r [reason]     Assigns	a  reason  for	the  disabling	of  the  printer(s). This reason applies to all printers specified. This reason is
		       reported by lpstat -p. Enclose reason in quotes if it contains blanks. The default  reason  is  "unknown  reason"  for  the
		       existing printer, and "new printer" for a printer added to the system but not yet enabled.

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported for both enable and disable:

       printer	       The  name of the printer to be enabled or disabled. Specify printer using atomic name. See printers.conf(4) for information
		       regarding the naming conventions for atomic names.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.

FILES

       /var/spool/lp/*	       LP print queue.
