Hello
I'am meena doing a project in ISO bangalore about printing spool
files from MPE 5.0 through a UNIX m/c. My design is to
1. have a server running on UNIX box which talks to
the printer through LPD.
2. The clients run on MPE 5.0 . The client is runnig
on the posix environment which communicates with
the server using SOCKETS.The communication
process is fine but the spool files when printed using LPD
prints junk in the beginning of every line.I suspect that
these are some control characters could any one suggest some
way to avoid these characters.If anyone has already
developed
some code to do this please help me out by giving it to me.
3. I tried writing a code to remove these control characters
but the program hange and dosen't print anything. I tried
checking whether these characters fall in the ASCII range
if so print them else ignore them.
Any suggestions/ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
thanx in advance
Meena.
