Printer Problems - connected to Async Port on Cisco 2509.

[pdaemon]

Hi,

We have connected a Lexmark S1650 printer to one of the async ports on the access router. Sending Characters down the line, by telneting to that line the the router ie line 6 - telnet xx.xx.xx.xx 2006 causes the characters to be then printed out after sending down a Form Feed (^L) to the printer. The only problem is that the characters are all printered on the same line over the top of each other instead of on a newline if I have put a <CR> in. Has anyone seen this problem before?

Below is the line info:

Thanks for your help. I have done this in the printer interface script and this works. It is also possible to do this on the cisco by specifying a printer ie

printer xxxx line 6 newline-convert
