[net.micro.pc] DOS GRAPHICS screen print command

gmv@cbuxc.UUCP (Mike Vrbanac) (04/08/85)

I'm running MS-DOS 2.11 on an AT&T PC6300. DOS came with a command called
GRAPHICS. Invoking this command loads some code which enables you to
hit control+printscreen and print graphic displayed on the screen.

Two questions:
1) with a epson jx color printer the color graphs come out in b&w.
   any ideas? has anyone jazzed it up to print color graphics correctly?
2) what if you don't have an epson, but rather a different dot matrix
   printer with graphics capability? are there other graphics commands
   floating around for other printers?

thanx,
Mike Vrbanac

PC DOS version 3 comes with an enhanced version of GRAPHICS that:

   o  Works with several different IBM printers. May be worth seeing if
      your printer is compatible with one of these.

   o  Supports colour printing.
