[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Setting Up Color Printer

dtymon@cs.uq.oz.au (David Tymon) (05/10/91)

   I have a STAR 1000 Rainbow Printer and I have a 286 AT running under
   DOS 4.01.  Recently I have been trying to set up the GRAPHICS.PRO file
   to print in color using the GRAPHICS command. The printer has a maximum
   of 7 colors and 6 of these work fine.  But for some reason the codes for
   BLACK do not work.  The codes are as follows :

   COLORSELECT R,27,114,1            ;;  Red Band
   COLORSELECT G,27,114,6            ;;  Green Band
   COLORSELECT B,27,114,2            ;;  Blue Band
   COLORSELECT Y,27,114,4            ;;  Yellow Band
   COLORSELECT O,27,114,5            ;;  Orange Band
   COLORSELECT V,27,114,3            ;;  Violet Band

   COLORSELECT X,27,114,0            ;;  BLACK Band

   It does not seem to like the "0" at the end of the last line.

   Does anyone how to solve this problem ?

   Any help would be much appreciated.

   Thanks.
