No Problem, I put the source of passprt in the original message to this thread, but
here it is again. I have an executable script file in my /usr/bin directory called
PASSPRT. The
script file sets up Pass Through Printing via a Telnet client. The script is as
follows:
printf "\033[5i\c"
cat $*
printf "\033[4i\c"
By the way I found this information at the following site:
http://www.anzio.com/support/printguide.htm
In the meantime I will play around with the timouts and see if that has any effect.
