HP Laserjet 5M - loses formatting
HP 5M printing remotely from an IBM System/36. Print program generates pseudo escape sequences at beginning of file for simple items like compressed or normal print, font, etc. The System/36 disallows non-printing characters in a print file - some device or software between the Sys/36 and the printer transforms the pseudo escape sequences into the real thing. Usual connection is via a modem through a protocol converter to the Sys/36. It is the protocol converter that intercepts the pseudo escape sequences and transforms them. This mechanism has worked fine for years. The Sys/36 is actually an emulator residing on an AS/400. Now we are trying to print over the Internet. The printer session software on the PC correctly intercepts and transforms the pseudo escape sequences. Over the Internet an HP Laserjet II works fine. However the 5M loses the formatting after the first page. If the report is compressed (132 char across the page) the printer reverts to normal print for the second and subsequent pages. What might the 5M be getting in this context that causes the reset? The HP manual states that a set of commands will hold for all the following pages. Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.
