Apparently-To: kermit.misc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu
We use Kermit 3.13 with a VAX-ALPHA HOST application on a Banyan Network (TCP/IP
protocol). The application can control the network printer by means of the 'printer controller'
sequences (CSI 5 i to turn the hardcopy printer on and CSI 4 i to turn it off again). Of course
Kermit will do the trick, however we would like to have the ability of printing in compressed
mode (or better: to select a printer driver like HP, IBM etc) because most of the files we print
are 132 columns width and we like to print it on a network printer. By the way it is of course
not possible to change the printer setting by the well-known printer switchboard.
Can anybody give me a suggestion on how to tackle this problem?
