Hi. Well, would anybody be interested in modifying the ImageWriter II iwf driver so that it is acceptable to other printers? Have some kind of database of printers... This would save some people a considerable amount of money :) Thanks, Ralph Ralph Seguin gilgalad@dip.eecs.umich.edu 536 South Forest Apt. #915 gilgalad@caen.engin.umich.edu Ann Arbor, MI 48104 (313) 662-4805

Ideally, we would turn iwf into a shell that does everything expect for printer-specific commands. A seperate .c file would contain all the unique information needed for any specific printer. (deskjet, imagewriter, epson, etc) The main shell would be responsibile for interfacing with the DPS system to get a bitmap and so on. - -John H. Osborn -osborn@cs.utexas.edu
