I am writing a utility that uses the printer driver and am unsure how ANSI X3.64 printer escape sequences relate to reality. Specifically, the codes to select text color as shown in appendix D of the Intro to the Amiga 2000 manual are listed as ESC[30m set foreground to color_0 ESC[31m set foreground to color_1 ... ESC[39m set foreground to color_9 The question is how to relate color_0, color_1, etc to the color that will be printed. For my paintjet, color_0 is black, color_1 is red, color_2 is green, ..., but other printers may be different, correct? More specifically if I allow a menu choice which selects the text color as RED, BLUE, or GREEN, how do I know which printer escape codes correspond to those colors? Is it a function of the current preference palette settings? Thanks in advance, Gary Jenkins
