No it is Esc E which is hp's reset command atleast on all of the hp
printers I have encountered and we own 5 or 6 different ones.
I don't know where this email went as I sent it days ago. I found
the filter file it was I believe
/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/ascii-to-printer.fpi
or something close to that. and changed the line where it said if EOF
\014 and said \033E it works like a charm. However just in case some
one else uses programs where the program uses escape sequence
to set things like paper source, margarine, orientation ect I thought
I would post an answer

The problem with this is then you have a reset which ejects the page
and the form feed which ejects a page lots of wasted paper. If you
remove the form feed at eof then if you want to use word perfect your
page does not eject

This might have worked but would it replace form feed in documets
where it is suppose to be a form feed.

Same question as above.
