We output a report to a HP Laserjet II printer. The report requires two
sources of paper (one for a plain paper, the other for paper with company
header).

We managed to incorporate the proper escape codes in our report programs to
switch between automatic and manual feed sources. The problem is that after
switching, it always ejects a blank page. How can this blank page eject be
disabled ?

Also, is there a way or perhaps an undocumented escape code to turn the printer
offline/online ? We are trying to make the printer pause so that the user can
feed the printer with the proper paper. Unfortunately, our reportwriter program
(SQL*REPORTwriter) is so inflexible we cannot make the report pause. So we
have to play clever tricks with the printer to simulate the pause.

Any ideas/help is much appreciated.

Thanks.
