I need to find someone with experience in Unix printer drivers who is
physically located in Maui, Hawaii for a FOR PAY job to troubleshoot a
problem installation ON SITE.

Please contact me off list?

In general there is a web page that describes inserting some codes into the
print stream via modification of the print driver and the customer says they
have made the modifications but the changes are not evident at the printer.

This is based on documentation on a web site:
http://www.efplus.com/techref/app/pms/geac.htm

And the modification detailed there has been done and confirmed, but we
aren't seeing the expected result. The thing that gets me is that when they
do the test in the next to the last paragraph, no text is printed.

"To test that these codes are correctly entered, change the \033 to \043
(the "+") and print a page (make sure you are using the correct terminal and
printer) you should see +&f21y4X for the Folio (or +&f31y4X for the
statement, etc...) printed on the first line of the report. Then change the
\043 back to an \033 without deleting any of the other codes, and this text
should no longer print. This shows that the sequence is being interpreted as
a command, rather than printable text, by the printer. The fact that the
sequence disappears indicates that it is most probably entered correctly."

When he changes the \033 to an \043 the text DOES NOT appear and I need
someone to go there and figure out why.
