Is there any generally preferred method of sending files to PAR: via a C program? I'm working with downloadable fonts for the deskjet + (and hope to be creating some soon) and am not sure of all the ramifications of choosing between combinations of the following I/O functions when reading from a disk file and writing to PAR: fgets / fputs fread / fwrite read / write Read / Write (any other pertinent functions?) I'm having some trouble when I do an fflush() or fclose () on the PAR: device after using fread & fwrite. The Deskjet "busy" light either doesn't go off, or starts blinking. I'm not sure yet if the behavior is linked to my choice of I/O functions, or just what is going on.
