echo "'/033'&l5H" > /dev/lp4
lp -dlp4 filename
a) Is /033 'escape' ?

We were printing to a serial laser printer with all the HP codes to generate a form (i.e. lines, boxes, etc.) Thus the file is filled w/ control codes. We are switching to an IP printer and we can no longer print directly to the device (i.e. cp text /dev/tty11). It looks like we have to use the lp... (2 Replies)

foo2xqx-wrapper
foo2xqx-wrapper(1) General Commands Manual foo2xqx-wrapper(1)
NAME
foo2xqx-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a XQX printer stream
SYNOPSIS
foo2xqx-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
DESCRIPTION
foo2xqx-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the foo2xqx printer driver. This script reads a Postscript ps-file or stan-
dard input and converts it to XQX printer format for driving the HP LaserJet P1005/P1006/P1007/P1008, the HP LaserJet P1505, the HP Laser-
Jet P2014, the HP LaserJet M1005 MFP, the HP LaserJet M1120 MFP, and other XQX-based printers.
This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be called from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic printer
database.

-T density
Print density (1-5). The default is 3 (medium).
-2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -8 -9 -10 -12 -14 -15 -16 -18
Print in N-up. Requires the psutils package.
-o orient
Orientation used for N-up.
Portrait -op (normal)
Landscape -ol (rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise)
Seascape -os (rotated 90 degrees clockwise)
Printer Tweaking Options
These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2xqx for a particular printer.
-u xoffxyoff
Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on any other printers.
-l xoffxyoff
Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on any other printers.
-L mask
Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the ZjStream. foo2xqx-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page dimen-
sions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regardless whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This option is
used to move the position of the clipped image back to where it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount which was
clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most cases.
0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
1 only send Y clipping amount
2 only send X clipping amount
3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
Debugging Options
These options are used for debugging foo2xqx and its wrapper.
-D level
Set Debug level [0].
EXAMPLES
Create a monochrome ZjStream from a Postscript document, examine it, and then print it using a RAW print queue:
foo2xqx-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.xqx
xqxdecode < testpage.xqx
lpr -P raw testpage.xqx
