I'm planning on getting the new ImageWriter and was thinking about what I could do to get the thing to print in color from existing software. The user's manual gives the escape codes for each color. Is there any reason why I can't write a DA that allows the user to chose the color the printer will subsequently print in; i.e. by writing the appropriate escape code to the printer port? My main concern is that the printer routines in existing software completely initialize the printer based on user/default settings and my escape code would be overwritten. Any ideas? -- -Tom Thomas C. Palmer palmer@unc decvax!mcnc!unc!palmer
