[comp.windows.ms] BX-80 printer driver, or how to make one.

s902114@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au (Zen [Stuart Bishop]=) (04/11/91)

I have a strange printer called a BX-80 from the company BMC.

It operates with (as far as I can tell without an Epson manual) the
same codes as an Epson LX-80.

The problem is, its graphics density is 160dpi instead of the 120 or 240
allowed by the Epson 9pin driver. This is a real pain with windows.

My questions are these:
	Is there a driver available for this printer?

	Is there a better generic driver which allowes more codes (italics?)
		and graphics capabilities?

    Are there any simple changes I can make to the driver to allow it to
		work in 160dpi mode?

    If all else fails, how do I write my own driver?
