I am trying to set the form length on a LQ-1050 via 
a unix shell script and am having problems.

According to the manual, the string should be ESC C n
where in is the length in lines.

Also I have several other printers that are working
correctly on this system, which I set and unset using
strings like echo "\033a\c" > /dev/ttywhatever and it 
works fine.

Why won't the epson respond to a similar sequence???

I've tried "\033C42" and "^[C42" and on and on with
other tickles and twidles. HELP! My dislike is growing
for this piece of japanese workmanship.
