- I have an application that needs to print output rotated to landscape orientation,
- and using a "wide mode" font - i.e. smaller print so that the rotated page
- approximates the hight & width of a 66X132 line printer page.
-
- On my old XENIX machine, this was accomplished with a couple switches passed to
- lpr. How do I do this with SVR4? Are there functionally equivalent (but differently
- named) switches to pr/lpr? Do I need to (ICK) echo the appropriate escape sequence
- into the data stream? None of the above?
-
- I'm currently running UHC SVR4 with an HP LaserJet compatable Panasonic printer.
-
- Thanx in advance.
