Hi Vikesh, I asked the CUPS developer whether CUPS currently offers support for ANSI carriage control. His response is listed below.
"Nope. The current text filter only supports ASCII control characters (CR, LF, FF, VT, HT, etc.) That said, it would be easy to develop a text filter that supports the ANSI printer control characters and then drop it in for CUPS to use." If you need any suggestions about where to place a custom ANSI printer control character filter into the CUPS filter chain, please let me know.
