When I send a text file to our HP Colorjet printer, I cannot get the
escape codes to work. I have the codes in to tell it to use paper tray
2 but it never does, as well as several other esc codes I have entered.
I even did an od on the file to make sure the codes were correct and
they are (using 27 for the escape character). I am beginning to wonder
if the esc code is stripped by the lpr command when executed. Anyone
got any ideas???
I have tried "to_dos" on the text file as well but no difference.

Are you sure that the actual escape codes gets inserted. I have had no problems
with this. You should supply a dump from od which shows the escape codes (2 or
3 lines should be enough).
