[comp.sys.misc] Printscreening graphics

poulin@POLAR.BOWDOIN.EDU (Jeff Poulin) (03/14/91)

I would like to do a high resolution graphics printscreen to my Panasonic
KX-P1124 from a (genuine) Hercules card.  I tried loading graphics.com
first then doing a printscreen but all I get is foreign characters in the
ASCII 130 to 140 range (My printer is emulating an Epson 2500 in graphics
mode).  Perhaps the problem is the very strange bitmapping order the
Hercules card uses (line 1 is B0000, line 2 is B2000, etc...)

I also tried pizazz, but the version I have is circa 1986 and it won't
print more than 180dpi (I would like 360dpi).

Finally, I also tried hprtsc.com in Simtel <msdos.screen> but it only
prints sideways and the resolution is way too low (it was made for an
epson FX80/90).

Can anyone help me with this?  I would rather see if the program I want
exists than try to build one.  My assembly is a little rusty :-(
