PCL Font does not download to printer.
OS: HP-UX B.11.11 U
Printer: HP 8150.
I require a font to be downloaded to the printer and used.
As documented the steps are:
1. Tell printer to accept font
2. Send the font to the printer
3. Make the font permanent
4. Select font for use
or in PCL
1. <Esc>*c90D
2. Copy font file to printer
3. <Esc>*c5f
4. <Esc>(90X
To generate the PCL I have written a simple script:
echo "^[*c90D\c" > mbbsetfont1
echo "^[*c5F\c" > mbbsetfont2
Then I send the whole package to the printer:
lp -dadv_test ./mbbsetfont1 ./ocra3-9.sfp ./mbbsetfont2 ./txtfile
Where the od of txtfile is:
0000000 033 ( 9 0 X 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
0000020 X + < > \n
0000025
The font does not seem to be selected and the printer does not list the font on the Font Information Page.
Any ideas?
Thanks
