compressed printing to a laserjet from a shell program

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I have a text-based accounting program running on Linux (clients and 
server). I have an HP LaserJet 2430dtn setup and working wonderfully 
from GUI apps and from the command line. What I need to do, and I have 
limited experience printing from the shell, is get the shell program to 
tell the printer to print in a compressed mode.

   I have created a second copy of the driver/queue to play with so the 
main printer driver should be left alone and stay working letting me 
experiment as I need to on the new second queue.

   The system is FC3 and the terminal is bash.

Thanks!!

The ever-questioning Madison
