I would like to write a small perl app to print labels, which will be
integrated into a larger app. I have done testing using an Epson LQ-300
with the following code;
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Printer;
$printer = new Printer('Linux' => 'lp');
$printer->use_default;
$printer->print("testing");
But I get a formfeed after the text is printed, which wastes lots of labels.
Is there any way I can prevent this formfeed? I use RH 9 and CUPS.
My cups config for the printer is <DefaultPrinter epson>

Thanks in advance,
