[comp.unix.xenix] How to make nroff printer drivers?

paul@nessus.UUCP (05/06/87)

-*-Chomp-*-

I'm running System V.2 and would like to create an nroff output driver for
my epson compatible printer.  (Anyone already done one?)  I've started with
a copy of the source code for the hp printer driver, but I'm stuck.

I "cc -c"'ed the file, expecting to take the .o file and copy it to the
right place.  I looked at the .o file and saw that unlike the drivers that
the vendor provided, my file had all sorts of gunk in it like ".text"
".data", ".dss" etc (it's a 286 machine).  I thought, weeeeeel, I'll try
to strip the file, but strip said it would not.

Query:	How the **&%*&^%$ does someone create a printer driver (I know this
	question was placed on the net a little over a month ago, I
	appologise for bringing it up again, but I don't have archives that
	far back).

Specific Query: Does anyone have an epson printer driver that they're
	        willing to share? (I run Microport SysV/AT).

					Thank you,
						Paul
