Greetings !!
We're running Digital Unix 4.0D on an Alphaserver800 using remote
printers to print jobs
the major amount of printers are epson printers those printers are
attached to PC with an Line printer Daemon Emulator (Onnet) which
receives the
jobs from Unix.
When we try to print something that have "Escape Character ^L,( Form
Feed )" into the document the printer don't take the ^L, and when the
printer finish with a page then next start at the half, to do that we
use the next sintaxis:
#cat file | lpr -P1 , where 1 it's the printer number.
We opt to resolve the problem trying to pre-format the output, we did
that with the pr command with the next sintaxis:
#pr -t file | lpr -P1
then print was ok,
Now the problem is when we try to print reports form oracle, the problem
go ahead .Actualy the oracle use the lpd to print the reports, and we
try pre-format the output using the pr, something like this:
#pr file | lpr -P(printer)
and the problem continue,the oracle use a file driver to print that have
the next into:
#........................................................................................
height 66
width 180
between pages control(L)
return ""
linefeed control(J)
code "bold on" esc "[1m"
code "bold off" esc "[0m"
code "underline on" esc "[4m"
code "underline off" esc "[0m"
#.........................................................................................
I don't know if somebody that use the Oracle ( We use the version
7.3.3.5.0) had had some printing trouble like this.
Beforehand thanks !!!
