Hello!
Is it possible to change EOF marker from being CTRL-D in PostScript?
I hooked up our laser printers on a terminal-server and connect to
it from a unix box. The only control character which don't make it thru
is CTRL-D.
I need to do it on a TI OmniLaser and a HPLJIII with HP-PS card.
Thanks in advance!

Most printers use CTRL-d as a job separator for their PS jobs, and on the printers I know this could not be changed. Why is the CTRL-d a problem? If it is because it's the default EOF for Unix, why not changing it to something else (stty eof '^a') ? -- -- Jos Vos <jos@bull.nl> (UUCP: ...!{uunet,mcsun,hp4nl}!nlbull!jos) -- Bull Nederland NV, Product Support Unix, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
