My thanks to Bruce and Alan for input on this.

Based on their input and my best guesses, there are not initialization
codes for an LPS17 since it is a native Postscript printer - all
setup/initialization is done by Postscript code. I believe the
initialization codes I saw being used in our application were actually
codes for a DEC LN03 that were applied to an LPS17.

Thanks for the responses,

Tom


ORIGINAL QUESTION:

We are trying to do some printer driver/initialization from our Tru64 4.0F
PS6 system to control an attached Digital LPS17 laser printer. In order to
do this, we need to define an appropriate initialization string, but I
cannot find any reference listing the printer control codes for this
printer. I believe "<Esc>[!p" does a printer reset, but I need to have
some documentation on other codes (orientation, pitch size, etc.). Can
anyone point me to documentation on these control codes for this printer?
I searched the web and Compaq's site with no luck so far.

Thanks,

Tom
