Esc Sequence to print bold

[crmayer]

I need to send an esc sequence to a printer to print a couple of lines in bold type and was wondering if anybody knew where I could find the command for bold type for a Aficio 250 printer???
I have the manual here but there is nothing in there about commnad line commands or flags.

OK, I talked with somebody at Ricoh and they told me that I need to just use the HP codes for the bold attrib.
So I found the HP code on the internet:
(s3B - bold on
(s0B - bold off

So when I try this, it just prints it as regular text to the file. Any ideas?

formPrint(lineno, 1, "[(s3B"
newline();
formPrint(lineno, 1, "TEXT"
newline();
formPrint(lineno, 1, "[30B"

Any help??

formPrint(lineno, 1, "\033[(s3B"

033 is an octal number, which is 27 decimal - ie, escape
