Subject: How do you define a print function?

We are trying to get a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IID to work on a new
network setup.  We can't get the last page of a job to formfeed out.
We have to manually formfeed to eject the page.

We have modified the automatic "reinitialize" print mode to include
the print function that sends the escape sequence that resets the
printer ( <Esc>E ).  We have verified that the printer is receiving
the reset escape sequence (the printer has a mode that allows it to
print the values received instead of interpreting the values... this
allows you to verify the escape sequences).

Here is the big question:

Is there a way to put a formfeed character (0C Hex) into a print function
definition?  It seems to me that there must be a way to put any desired
value into a printer setup string, but we haven't figured it out.

Please E-mail the reply.

Thanks.
