What I can print compress in HP Desckjet

[phonenumber]

I need print information compressed in a HP desckjet in SCO 5. I have a windows based network and a emulator to acces unix.

What do you mean by 'compressed'?

Do you need to use a smaller font to fit more on the page? Annihilannic.

Will be a modification of the interface script to insert the font sizes and line spacing commands from the HP specs before printing and the standard commands after the printing is finished.
The line you will surround is near the bottom with a cat command. You will put one or several echo commands before and after it.
And it would be best if you would create another printer interface using the same hardware port so you don't bugger your good printer if you screw something up. Ed Fair

Excuseme the bad inglish.

Yes, i need handler the fonts in a remote printer and this printer is a inkjet printer. This type of printer is a HP Deskjet, because when i send it something, the printer use the taller fonts to printing.

Thanks a lot.

You may need to search for information on HP's site for PJL, the language used to control their printers. For example, in the past I have used the following codes at the beginning of a job to set the paper orientation:

[tt]^[%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT
^[%-12345X[/tt]

Good luck! Annihilannic.
