Any CUPS Command or Lpr to print in Condensed mode

srampv · 11-09-2009, 01:21 AM

Hi,

I am trying to print a text while which has 170 characters per line.But My TVS 245 dot matrix printer supports 132 columns only . But there is one option in DOT matrix printer which is Condensed mode . when I set this option in Printer settings It is compressing the characters (not the file) and printing the file . So in output there would not be any wrapped lines . But I want to set this option from my CUPS command lpr .

please let me know is there any option in lpr or lp commands

Thanks
Venkat

Since nobody more knowledeable answers -- I think you can print a separation sheet in CUPS. Did you try to "print" the escape sequence on this separation sheet to set your printer into condensed mode?
