NEWCOMER@TL-20B.ARPA (10/03/84)
From: Joseph M. Newcomer <NEWCOMER@TL-20B.ARPA> I have a non-IBM printer (parallel interface) which I would like to use with our PC/XT. What I need to do is replace the CR and LF sequences with the proper sequences for this printer, and map the characters in the ranges 0-31 and 129-255 so that the international characters and some punctuation symbols print properly. I need to understand how 'PRINT' works, and ideally would like to get the source for the current printer spooler (by "understand how it works" I mean the details of how I would replace the existing one with my own version, or revert if I get a different printer, not how interrupt-driven background spooling works. That I understand). Or even better, if someone has a Lattice C-compatible version of a printer daemon that works with PRINT that would be even nicer, since assembly code hacking isn't my idea of great fun. joe -------
