Mr. Sweet,

See the line example:

"there is nothing in ^(s7BCUPS^(s0B right now to automatically"

where symbol ^ are the ESC (x1b) character.

In the example above I would to print the word CUPS in BOLD letters.

The CUPS takes off the ESCAPE sequences from the middle of lines when sends the report to the printer?
