Wed 13-Mar-91: I have written a menu based ansi.sys driven advanced batch for sending command codes to the printer to make printer initialization and setting easy. It is called setprn.bat. It is for Diconix Inkjet Parallel Printer Model 150, which is an Espon compatible printer. Thus the batch is suitable for various different printer makes, and easily configurable. I have added these two batches to my collection of (hopefully) useful and instructive batch files /pc/ts/tsbat24.arc best available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi archives. There is a program-based alternative to setprn.bat, that is setdico.exe which can be found in /pc/ts/tsprn##.arc. The difference is that in setprn.bat you are able to configure the printer codes if you wish.
