Make a little script which print some PCL code and then reads STDIN and
writes to STDOUT, like this:
----
#!/bin/bash
echo -e '\033&k2G' # write 'Esc & k 2 G' to STDOUT
cat # read STDIN, writes to STDOUT
----
(Look in your printer manual to see what this PCL code does [grin])
Put this script in the 'if=....' entry of your printer in /etc/printcap.
Also take a look at APSFILTER. This package will do all this and more for
you.
Cees.
