A while back, someone posted a description of the commands to send
to switch a TI microLaser PS from LaserJet mode to PostScript, and
vice versa, by sending various commands. Well, I took them home,
and the PostScript -> LaserJet works fine; the LaserJet ->
PostScript doesn't work. Does anyone have the command for
LaserJet -> PostScript?

Boy, I hate it when unscrupulous dealers sell printers without the MANUAL, don't you? After all, if one had the MANUAL one could open it to page D-10 and read the [Global Commands]/[Emulation] section at the bottom of the page, where it says PS batch ESC DLE 0 1B 10 30 ... HPII ESC DLE 6 1B 10 36 It's easy to create a couple of tiny files or EMIT commands and put them in batch files to switch emulations.

The piece of code I use at the bottom of the lp model I use for Laserjet printing to change the printer back to Postscript after printing the job in Laserjet, is: echo "^[^?0" echo "^D" sleep 30 # Give the printer time to reset before the next job. I believe the ^? is the DEL code. I find this one hard to produce in vi, so when I need it I run a script that does echo "\000" > /tmp/code. This gives me a file with ^? in it, which I read into the file I am editing. -- Bill Irwin - The Westrheim Group - Vancouver, BC, Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ uunet!van-bc!twg!bill (604) 431-9600 (voice) | Your Computer bill@twg.bc.ca (604) 430-4329 (fax) | Systems Partner libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: No such file or directory libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: No such file or directory libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: No such file or directory libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: No such file or directory libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: No such file or directory libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: No such file or directory libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: No such file or directory libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: No such file or directory [[Moderator's note: Inquiring minds, of course, want to know what the libsocket stuff is all about! --Rick ]]

Thanks, but my manual doesn't have that page. Perhaps someone noticed the deficiency, and has since fixed it. -- Clayton E.
