New Bee Printing Issue

[thendal]

Hi All!

Is there any way to configure the printer to print from starting of the page .....

actually i am writing a perl program to collect the information and finally i issue the print command..

here is an example...

open(PRINTER,">/tmp/temp.txt"
print PRINTER "Name";
print PRINTER "BLABLA";
close(PRINTER);

system("lpr -Plp /tmp/temp.txt"
unlink("/tmp/temp.txt"

first two prints looks ok ...but after each print it starts a line lower (adds two newline)....after 10 prints are so ...the information is spilited in two papers ...

i tried issuing the form feed ....like

print PRINTER "/f";

no help same issue ....

I have epson LQ 870 dot matrix printer .....i am using 8.5" x 11" continous paper ...

Is there any paper size setting i need to do in printcap ...i just used the default setting in freebsd to connect to local printer...or ...Is there any thing i need to do in printcap file. or any filter i can add to overcome this issue.

Any help will greatly appreciated.
