George, And maybe I can get the fellow what wants to get the new printers to do the work! He's our Solaris guy, but I don't think his strength is in printers.
I suspect, though, that we'd take more than 15 minutes to figure out what command sequences to send. :) Also, Solaris uses System V printing with printer interface programs that use some other scripting language that, again, I don't know (but maybe ...). A quick look tells me that what you suggest could be done, with another learning curve ... No man pages on our AIX or Solaris systems for printcap. I did call the Datamax tech support, who referred me to Integrated Software Design and Unibar. The Unibar product looks nice but costs $3000 plus. Thanks again, Karjala >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/05/2004 4:07:26 PM >>> We use Datamax labels printers. While I don't send straight ASCII to it, I don't know if it won't accept it. You could try calling their tech support 407-523-5540 and ask them, they have always been very helpful and know their products very well. Can't speak for Zebra, havn't had to use one. George If you just need to send a few characters to allow it to accept text, you could modify your printcap from unix to prepend the characters and add some trailing data to all print jobs that go through it, Shouldn't take too much time (maybe 15 mins) to modify it. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
