Desc: How to print user name large on header page.
To print the user name in large characters on a PCl printer
one can edit the header page
cp H.ascii H.myasc in /usr/lib/lpd/pio/burst
Change virprt sh attribute to point at H.myasc
Edit H.myasc to contain PCL sequence for large print:
\^[(s4148t1p150V
%S
\^[(s3t0p10H
\^[ is an escape character created in vi with ctrl-v Esc
The PCL commands are concatinated to one PCL commands, but are:
ESC ( s \# T - Select the font by font ID \#=4148 is Univers font
ESC ( s 1 P - Select proportional spaceing 0 P selects fixed spacing
ESC ( s 150 V - Sets the Point size (proportional spacing) to 150
Concatinated PCL commands simply use a small letter for the T and P
so that we don't have to repeat the ESC ( s for each command.
The bottom PCL commands selects font 3 (courier) '0p' selects fixed font,
and '10H' selects a pitch of 10 (default for the burst page).
To print the user name in large print on a post script printer, one
can edit the /usr/lib/lpd/pio/burst/H.ps file to contain the following:
/Courier findfont 24 scalefont setfont
(%h %H ) wrap_lines
crlf
(%s %S ) wrap_lines
crlf
/Courier findfont 12 scalefont setfont
The key in changing the postscript font is the number before
scalefont. The larger the number the larger the font.
