[comp.sys.atari.st] Deskjet+ Driver for 1stWord+

rmanzie@miclon.uucp (Roddy Manzie) (09/01/89)

Subject line says it all, really. I have written a limited driver for
the deskjet+ that does bold/italic etc, but without the EPSON emulation
cartridge, I don't think that 1stword's driver spec will allow description
of the deskjet's graphics commands.

Also, when I set up commands for horizontal/vertical tabs, the results
were that the deskjet printer locked up printing garbage.

Finally, the placeholders (any value over 0x80) seem to be coded such that
it is impossible to send chars-per-inch data down as ascii strings if the
cpi figure has 2 or more characters.

Anyone done any better than me?
