Hello,
I am having a problem printing a file that I copied from a unix machine. It is a simple file that was written using the vi editor. All of the text gets printed alright, the only problem is that the file contains tags that are used by the printer, ^[(s7B (bold on) for example. The problem is that somewhere between the linux machine and the printer the ascii code ^[ turns into Ÿ
(the tag becomes Ÿ(s7B). The printer doesn't recognise this and it gets printed out as regular text.

I am completely lost on this.
Can anyone help me or explain what or why this is happening?

Thanks
Jason Fournier

You are printing from windows?...if so,
unix2dos <filename> then copy to the windows machine.

Edit: Oops, no you are printing from linux. I have never seen this and I transfer a lot from Solaris to Linux and print. Try vi'ing it in linux and then rewrite. :edit
