Is anybody out there doing pass thru printing on a PC
using Lan WorkPlace for DOS version 4.01 and tnvt220.

I have a series of PC's connected to a UNIX Sys V system and some
of them have local printers attached.  At times the users would
like to print output from the UNIX box on their local printers

To do this we have a program that puts a vt100 style terminal into
print mode, sends the file down the port, and resets the terminal
into the corect mode.  This works fine on simple ascii terminals,
and PC's that are connectted serially using Procomm.  When using
tnvt220 the terminal is put into print mode, prints the file,
but never returns.

Based on that fact I am assuming that the escape sequence is
different than the one used by my other "terminals".  However,
I cannot find any information on these sequences in any of the
manuals and people are getting grumpy.

If anyone can help me out I would be grateful.  If I can supply
any additional info please let me know.  Please mail any responses
to [e-mail] as I don't get to read news as often as
it expires :-)

Thanx in advance for any help.
