Printing to an ASCII printer, HP 2235

["Marc Zylka" <mzylka@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been trying to print to an HP 2235 (an old printer) but I haven't had
much luck. I can send it a text string and it'll print but I've also been
trying to send Escape sequence to change the printer settings.
This hasn't worked, yet.  Here is the current setup:

- printer is hooked up to the serial port of an HP Jetdirect
- I've created an output on the AS/400 to be used over TCP/IP.  I forget
  what I used as a manufacturer's model, I think HP500.
- I've created a printer file defined as *USERASCII
- My program does the following:
    - for each escape sequence, I've output X'1B' + the codes on 1 or more
lines.
- Printer only prints one line with mostly @ signs.

Anyone have any ideas on what else I need to do?

As I mentioned earlier, I can print straight text with Escape codes.

TIA,
