Printer prob


Hi there,
Well, first of all...my conf..

Slack 10.1
Intel P4 2.4 Ghz
HP 695Cci Inkjet printer

Now the prob..
I want to run the printer according my wish...basically what I mean is that..i want the printer to just keep printing a certain character say ...8...at one point without moving much...I have tried to that using biosprint etc..but all that happens is that...after some time the printer thinks that the paper is over and then there is a pause of about 7-8 sec and I have to manually work the paper sensor until the printer starts printing again....Does anybody know how to control the printer using a program etc..

Thanx in advance...
Jai

P.S: I have opened up the printer and basically removed the paper pulling mechanism...the printer is still in the working condition though...:-)

Please clarify what you are trying to do -- are you saying you want the printer to hold the paper in a stationary postion and then to continuously print the same character? How would this be any different than just printing the character once, then ejecting the paper? Perhaps I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish, but my recommendation would be finalize the document, image, etc, before attempting to print it. -- J.W.

Printing Programming

Hi JW,
thanx for the reply..actually what I want is this:

I want the printer to forget about any paper...I just want it to continuously spray ink at one point from all the nozzles..in normal printing the printer assumes that the paper has ended ( after printing one sheet ) and then pauses to take in another sheet of paper.....I hope to end that ( and no paper input here...I have removed the paper pulling mechanism totally only the sensor remains a prob. )...and make the ink cartridge spray ink continuously at one point...

I hope I am able to convey What I want..
Thanx again for replying..
Jai

I'm still confused - do you just want to have the printer spray ink continuously? That will just waste ink. Let's try things a different way - suppose the functionality you describe existed. What purpose would it serve, or how would you use it? -- J.W.

Unfortunately No, I am not famililar with modifying a printer so that it would spray ink continuously, sorry. Good luck with it -- J.W.
