[comp.sys.atari.st] Hard-Copy with 24 pin printers

 Hi Atarians,

 At atari.archive, in printing/ you will find the following programm:
(thanks Jeff!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
				HC24_V13.PRG

   This utility replaces the internal hard-copy routine (for 9 pin printers)
by an other one for LQ500 compatible 24 pin printers (high resolution only).
At least, it works on my Brother M-1224L...

   In addition, it respects the x/y ratio (circles on the  screen  are  also
circles on the paper) and needs only 1.5Kb.

   Put it in your \AUTO\ folder. If you have also SPOOL.PRG there,  it takes
nearly 7.5 seconds on a Mega ST1 and nearly 3 seconds on a  Mega  STE  until
you get the control back.

   Use it at your own risk: it's absolutely free. If modified, please let me
know. Not to be sold or for commercial use. I just hope it works for you too.

   Enjoy!
