[U2] Line Printer Control
We still use a greenbar printer to print checks. Via a UniBasic program, I am trying to send an alignment pattern to the printer before starting the check run. The trouble is that it always does a form feed after the alignment pattern. I have been diddling with toggling options in... execute 'SETPTR 0,132,60,2,0,1,NHEAD,BRIEF,NFMT,NOEJECT,NODEFAULT,NOFORMFEED, AT PR0' PRINTER OFF PRINTER CLOSE Help would be appreciated. --Bill ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Line Printer Control
If I remember correctly, when we converted from UltPlus to Universe... I had to set the following in our master login paragraph (I know, I know, probably not the best place for it) for a lot of legacy stuff. SETPTR ,132,60,0,0,,NOHEAD,BRIEF,NFMT Try that maybe? Shot in the dark. I do remember many hours pulling my hair out over this though.

Re: [U2] Line Printer Control
We use this for a Universe driver... Maybe this is too much info for you...
And this was written by another gentleman for AIX, basic line printer
printing with System V printing.
All of the internals I do not fully understand without more reading and
refreshing my memory.
# cat /usr/spool/uv/uv.drv
#!/bin/sh
#
# Printer driver for UniVerse applications to record each print job.
#
#
# UniVerse sends options along with the print file. This script captures
# relevant information and creates a log entry for each print job.
#
#
# Modified to do the awk on all print streams
#
# $1 = login userid
# $2 = UniVerse queue jobnumber
# $3 = size of the file in bytes
# $4 = Print file name from UniVerse (from editor, not valid for SORT)
# $5 = UniVerse form queue number
# $6 = UniVerse spool queue name
# $7 = columns width from setptr
# $8 = rows on page from setptr
# $9 = a 1 looks like it might be the print mode
# $10 - $15 = 80 through 85 probably not used

Re: [U2] Line Printer Control
In smit, when you setup the queue new or change an existing 'virtual printer' a couple of settings that give me complete control in Unidata are: Send FORM FEED after each file = No Lines Per Page = null Columns per page = Make sure you always set it up as a GENERIC printer and ASCII printer Sincerely, David Laansma IT Manager Hubbard Supply Co.
