LJ 6L Printer Control Codes

[gforce2002]

This may sound like a simple thing, but I have having a devil of a time getting it to work: I need to print condensed print from an old DOS program to a LaserJet 6L printer. I have tried using the control code sequence

chr(27) + chr(38)+chr(107)+chr(50)+chr(83)

which I got from some HP related web site (not the official HP site), but it seems to have no effect. Can anyone tell me what the correct sequence is?

Perhaps try with Ec(s4S (s) or (115)1B 28 73 34 which is the hex value of condensed. Also you might wanna check

for additional hints.
