plotdvr
HP-GL plotter filter. This filter scans the data for "PG" commands (paper feed). When this data is
encountered, the filter strips it from the data stream and informs the requesting user of the need to
change paper in the plotter.
Options:
-l request_id Specifies the printer request ID and is used in various messages regarding the plot
request.
-u username The requesting user’s login name, used to communicate with the user regarding the
request.
-e Specifies the use of escape sequences, rather than HP-GL commands, to determine
plotter status.
-f Plot without stopping for paper changes. The "PG" commands are not stripped from
the data stream and the user is not notified of them. This option is used on plotters
capable of automatic page feed.
-i Prevents initialization of the plotter.
printstat
Interrogates an RS232 printer as to its status, and does not return until the printer is ready. If the
printer is off-line, out of paper ,ordisconnected , the submitter of the print request is notified of this con-
dition periodically until it is corrected. When the printer is ready to print, the command exits.
Standard input and standard output must both be connected to the serial printer device.
This program uses the send-status command
ˆ[?ˆQ? to determine status. (The characters ˆ[ and ˆQ
represent the ESC or ˆ[ and DC1 or ˆQ characters, respectively.) Not all serial printers respond to this
command. Only the following configurations support this command:
