Instead I put the codes in the printer interface script where I have full control of what is actually being sent, and can make modifications as required for my terminal emulation software. I myself don't use the PN and PF codes in termcaps because I could never get them to work right. I have been using terminal client printing for a couple of years now, so I am familiar with many of the problems involved. Ok, I've been watching this thread with some interest.

Perhaps it will be of assistance to someone in the future.īill McClure RE: Terminal emulation software, client print problem edfair (TechnicalUser) 28 Oct 03 22:48 Much thanks to everyone who responded to this issue. I would like to understand what is configured in the standard interface that the printer liked when it was attached to a WYSE terminal, but didn't like when it was operating through a terminal emulator. Finally, on a whim, I changed the pra08 printer model to "SCO emulator," a very simple interface. I tried issuing various ditty commands per advice. Both Anzio and Kermit95 would print one job to the printer and a subsequent job to the screen of the emulator, requiring a kill to continue use. In the beginning, the printer model in Digi was "SCO standard" per their instructions. I could probably switch back to to WYSE at this point. I did have the term type as WYSE 60, with no solution to the problem. On the printer, pra08, type = term, term type = ansi, onstr & offstr = digi preset parameters for ansi. The set up in the Digi software was ttya08, type = term, 19200, 8-1-N, software flow = xon/xoff, hwflow = none, fbaud=off.

It is now working!!!! I worked with Anzio - very nice people -, Kermit95, and DigiBoard, with no solution.
