Hi Experts,

I want to print pdf on epson dot matrix printer. This printer uses "escp" language.
I tried ghostscript 8.62 on HP_UX itanium

i used like following.
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sOutputFile=/tmp/out.prn @stcany.upp alphabet.pdf quit.ps

/tmp/out.prn:

^[^A@EJL 1284.4
@EJL
^[@^[@^[(G^A^A^[(i^A^A^[(U^A
^[U^[(C^Bx^O^[(c^D-M-0^N^[@^L


alphabet.pdf:

It is very long file with complete alphabet(capital and small) and numbers.
I mean for this file the out.prn must be quite lenghty.

Could any body kindly help me to get the output in escp format which is a language for EPSON DFX 9000 printer.

Thanks and appreciating your kind help.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I have tried both but it same.

gs -q -sDEVICE=escp -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sOutputFile=/tmp/out.prn @stcany.upp alphabet.pdf quit.ps

/tmp/out.prn:
^[^A@EJL 1284.4
@EJL
^[@^[@^[(G^A^A^[(i^A^A^[(U^A
^[U^[(C^Bx^O^[(c^D-M-0^N^[@^L


#file /tmp/out.prn
/tmp/out.prn: data


Kindly help me.

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried all the options you mentioned.

gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sDEVICE=ibmpro -r240x72 -sOutputFile=/tmp/out2.prn alphabet.pdf
Out2.prn:
^Q^[30^L

ii)gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sDEVICE=escp -r240x72 -sOutputFile=/tmp/out2.prn alphabet.pdf
out:
^[*rbC^[*t240R^L^[@


iii)gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sDEVICE=epson -r240x72 -sOutputFile=/tmp/out2.prn alphabet.pdf
OUt:
^[@^[P^[l^[QW^L^[@


Kindly help me.

Yes, here it is

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 5 Mar 11 14:42 /tmp/out2.prn
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 15 Mar 11 14:42 /tmp/out2.prn
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 14 Mar 11 14:42 /tmp/out2.prn

that is 5, 15, 14 bytes respectively.
