Kevin,
The codes are as follows: (These are for HP printers other printers may
require different seq)
*27,"E" - is and Escape E or reset
*27,"&k2G" - is a command to convert Linux line feeds to cariage return
followed by a line feed
This is all done in the Terminal file so you can have one terminal type
setup for each printer and can be used by multiple printers.
Hope this helps.

Mark,
I like your solution. It is certainly more succinct
than mine was.
From your code, it appears that IO is set to equal $I
before PRE-OPEN EXECUTE code it set. I didn't realize
that the variable ION was set to the device name.
We have a HP laserjet 5. I haven't tried sending it
escape sequences (as you seem to be doing.) When I
tried to choose subtype that was 12point, it didn't
print right. What are you doing with those escape
sequences?

I have been using the following settings in the
device and terminal
types. I have printed to multiple printers and sent
multiple
labels/prescriptions to an single printer over a
very short period of
time. It has not failed me yet, Kevin is correct the
key is in the
PRE-OPEN EXECUTE, I just set IO equal to $I with a
piece in the middle
consisting of $J(job) and the second peice of
$H(time) this give the
TEMP file its own unique name.
You do not have th have the printer name in the
temporary file just
SOMETHING.TMP, you need the format SOMETHING.TMP
because the PRE-OPEN
EXECUTE in the DEVICE does a $P looking for a ".".
You also need to
have the DEVICE Name equal to the Linux name for the
printer, this is
the ION variable so "lpr" know what printer to use.
I do suggest leaving
the TEMP file name the same as the device name so if
you have a failure
you at least know the device name that failed. It is
the CLOSE EXECUTE
in the TERMINAL TYPE that triggers the "lpr" to
print.
Let me know if this works.

Thanks, I can now continue to work on this - lots
of power under the
hood with endless possibilities with the CUPS
server now accepting the
print jobs.
I am really also very impressed with Samba 3.0x
and their Cups
integration. Amazing work.
Maybe, but I can't tell you how bad SAMBA is as a
protocol. All the
SMB/CIF networking is a disaster. It floods your
network, and is slow.

Ismet, as I look more closely at what you have, I
see
that you are already fairly close to what I have
done.
The differences that I see are that you have:
PRINT SERVER NAME OR ADDRESS: 192.168.0.105
REMOTE PRINTER NAME: HL1240
In my system, I don't use this. Instead, the
printer
output should be written to the file specified in
IO
(which is set in the PRE-OPEN EXECUTE code), and
then
the function in POST-CLOSE EXECUTE (DO
FINISH^ZZZPRNTR("HL1240") ) should pass a signal
to
the linux lpr command to print the file.
So VistA doesn't need to know the ip address of
the
printer. It is shielded from all that. That is
defined at the Linux OS level.
