[comp.sys.ibm.pc] dvieps & ibm graphics printer?

scole@sim.uucp (Steven Curtis Cole) (10/15/89)

I've recently begun to run dvieps in conjunction with sbtex on my ibm
xt, but can't seem to get dvieps to produce output appropriate to my
printer.  Is there anyone out there who's actually gotten it to work
on a standard ibm graphics printer?

I'd think that it should work fine; the documentation claims it only
uses 240/216 pixels/inch, which I know works, since I have other
programs which use it.

In particular, dvieps is sending my printer the code <ESC> * <data> in
the position that I'd expect graphics commands.  I've long ago lost my
printer manual, so I don't have a complete list of escape commands,
but the list I do have claims that <ESC> Z is the right graphics
command.  Anyone with a manual know what <ESC> * does?

Thanks for whatever help you're able to provide,
