[foxboro] IA System printing to Network printers

Folks,
 
I have a need to abandon the old Foxboro system printers for a variety of
reasons and wish to print to standard Business Network printers instead.  I
searched the Cassandra Project site and all of its links, but could only
find an inquiry from Mr. Duc M. Do about fine tuning the procedure (see
e-mail below).  Can someone please provide a procedure to do it; or point me
in the right direction?  I would deeply appreciate all of the help and
advice I can get before tackling this chore.  As I'm guessing it is not
supported by the Foxboro Gods ...
 
Thanks in advance for your inputs ...

Hi everyone,



Here's an easy one for you printer experts out there:



I want to use the network printers (the printers hanging off of our

business LAN) via the second Ethernet port of the Sun workstations.

These are mainly HP 5Si and HP 4000 laser printers. After much trials

and errors and more than a little cussing, I can control the font

size and the pagination of the output, but there remains one thing

that I can't control: The output to the 5Si always prints in duplex

(two-sided printing).



Does anybody have experience with printer control who can give me a

hint on how to control this feature? I've looked at the terminfo data

for the laser printer but can't seem to get much headway there. (I

did have to recompile a new printer interface using 'tic' in order to

use smaller fonts and change the pitch.)



Searching the Foxboro CSC web site does not yield anything beyond the

basics of using a printer connected directly to the Sun box.



Appreciate any lead you can provide.
