setting form length via shell script on LQ-1050

[Barton A. Fisk]

This was posted to periphs awhile back with no response.

I am attempting to set the form length on an Epson
LQ-1050 printer from a shell script via the advertised
sequences to no avail.

This method has worked for all other printers we have
online but *not* on the Epson :-(.

The form is 42 lines (6 to 1) long so the dips on the
back are useless.

Has anyone mastered the correct permutation of sequences
to make this beast behave??

Thanks in advance for any help.
