Hi!

I'm trying to send PCL commands to my HP laser printer. After browsing
through the archives, I found that I can just build the necessary character
string (using X'1B' for the <esc> character) and send it to the printer.
That works great until the length of my PCL command is longer than my print
line length. If I break my PCL command into 2 lines and send them to the
printer, I get print positioning commands inserted between the two lines. Is
there a way to send lots of data to the printer without getting those pesky
print positioning commands in the way?

Thanks in advance,
Richard Casey
