Problem: Writing/Obtaining a printer driver to print from Apple applications
to a non Apple printer.
Hardware : Macintosh IIcx
Toshiba TH 2100G 24-pin printer
Star LC-10 9-pin colour printer
Software : A/UX 2.0
gcc and cc
I currently use my Toshiba printer in plain text mode from A/UX, but I
also want to be able to print from Apple applications to the printer, this
requires a printer driver .. I feel that I would given an example be able
to write my own one for this printer, BUT I don't have access to an Apple
based C - compiler, and would anyway prefer to compile the driver in C
using the Apple interface library supplied with A/UX, BUT I don't have
the manuals for those either.. So in total I would like the following :
1) A printer driver for the Toshiba printer
2) A printer driver for the Star printer
3) Source for a printer driver using the A/UX routines
4) Source for a printer driver using ANY C compiler
5) Source for a printer driver using Pascal or Modula-2
6) Source for any program using the A/UX Apple routines
7) Any information on how to use the A/UX Apple routines
8) Any information on how to write a printer driver.
Phew... I don't want much do I!!!
Thanks

PS. The Star uses Epson codes - so maybe an Epson printer driver would do?
