Ok, we've tracked this down further -- the forms which are having
trouble printing are using two subroutines my programmer's made (and
used successfully in lots of OS scenarios excepting Linux) which 1)
define a lot of printer control codes such as:
ESC = CHAR(27)
LANDS = ESC:"&l1O"
PORTR = ESC:"&l0O"
COURR = ESC:"(8U" ;* & LINE PRINTER
TMSRM = ESC:"(0U" ;* & HELV BOLD
XXXXM = ESC:"(10U" ;*UNK
HALFL = ESC:"="
FFPRM = ESC:"Z" ;** FORM FEED PROMPT
and 2) draw the boxes we were seeing, respectively.
Make sure that you hand the "-o raw" option to the lp command, otherwise
the CUPS driver will mess with your escape sequences. The following
driver script works fine for me on RedHat AS 3:
#!/bin/sh
cat - | sed -e "s/\$/`echo -en '\r'`/" | lp -d order_desk_laser -o raw
The "sed" command is there to convert LF to CR and prevent text
stair-stepping. You may not need it.
