|Brian,
|
|Thanks for your response. Let's see if I can explain it to you 
|properly:
|
|The windows server has print services for UNIX running so that 
|jobs are printed through lpd /lpr. The printer is a shared 
|printer on the windows server and it defined as an HP1200 
|printer using RAW in spooling.
|
|The only thing we need to know is what codes to send the 
|printer in order to go beyond 80 character.
|
|Regards,
|
|Dennis

If this is a motion by Brian, then I must second it.  You'll save yourself a
ton of time and headache setting up the printers on HP print servers vs.
trying to get UNIX Services for Windows to play nice.

But, if you insist, then please share your ultimate solution if you get to
one.  Kinda curious myself, but don't wanna be the one to stick my neck out.
