The network (NW) spooler behaves differently from serial spooler for %2nn series CCTLs. The new NPCONFIG item "serial_printer_simulation" is added to fix this problem.

Description of the New NPCONFIG Item

If you configure "serial_printer_simulation" to true, then the NW spooler behaves the same way as the serial spooler for CCTL %2xx series. That is, it sends LFs for %2nn series of CCTLs.

If you configure "serial_printer_simulation" to false, then there won't be any change in the NW spooler's behavior. That is, it sends <esc>&a#R. As a result, you find CCTL %2xx series is incompatible between the network and serial spooler. By default "serial_printer_simulation" is set to false.

Sample NPCONFIG File

          # One of the NW printer's ip addresses 
          serial_printer_simulation = true)
