Insert FF (feed form) in text file so that when printing the printer print on a new page accordingly
Hello.
First happy new year to everybody.


I have a script that generate a text file ( /tmp/part_list.txt for example ).
This file can be edited using a kde graphical text editor like kate or kwrite
The file can be printed out from command line or within the text editor using the print option menu.



Code:

echo "" > /tmp/part_list.txt
echo "" > /tmp/part_list.txt
 
for A_DEVICE in $(lsblk --noheadings -o kname) ; do...
...
        CUR_DEVICE="$A_DEVICE"      # A_DEVICE = /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc .....  
        gdisk -l "$CUR_DEVICE"  >>  /tmp/part_list.txt  2>&1

done

Now I would like to add the code so that when printing the file "/tmp/part_list.txt" the printer change page after each device
Something like that :



Code:

echo "" > /tmp/part_list.txtecho "" > /tmp/part_list.txt

for A_DEVICE in $(lsblk --noheadings -o kname) ; do...
...
        CUR_DEVICE="$A_DEVICE"      # A_DEVICE = /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc .....  
        gdisk -l "$CUR_DEVICE"  >>  /tmp/part_list.txt  2>&1
        echo "some code that printer understand as do FF" >> /tmp/part_list.txt  
done

And then the file "/tmp/part_list.txt" contains some thing like :


Code:
device : /dev/sda

ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
0x0c  or  do FF or .....?
device : /dev/sdb

ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text0x0c  or  do FF or .....?
device : /dev/sdc

ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text

Any help is welcome.
