I would think so, the codes for controlling the printer are documented in
the manual that comes with the printer. These codes are what makes a word
processor file different from a text file. By running small programs
that send these codes to the printer using the kermit run command you could
change the behavior of the printer. I don't know but conflicts might
occur if you were to try to send escape sequences within the the print
escape sequence or try to print a file with embedded codes using the
print escape sequence if you were printing from a remote system.
But you could set up a printer by running these local programs from
the remote using apc or the incredibly amazing remote and local
procedures? that may be coming in the next release of kermit.
If k95 allows you to select a printer and has some built
in mechanism to accomplish this - I have no idea.
just guessing
