Re: linux software for verifying printer.
Create a binary file, that contains the bit you want.
The on the shell command line, execute the following command:
cat binary_file_name > /dev/lp1.
or whichever device is your printer.
This is actually a standard way of verifying that your printer works - or can print postscript or ASCII files in it's hardware. Under a root session, just execute the above line:
cat file_name > /dev/lp1.
