I have a app printing to a HP 4050 but at compressed. The Unix app cannot set the CPI/LPI itself so i want to know how to change it from the command line.
how about echo ` command string ` > /dev/lp0. Haven't done it in a long time and the memory has faded.
Probably would be better to create a new printer and include the normal size stuff before the file dump and resize it after the dump in the interface script.
The echo uses back primes as delimiters. Ed Fair
