I'm writing an application in MS C on IBM PCs running DOS. Part of the
package requires graphing and other graphics to the screen or to a printer.
Graphics to the screen presents few problems, but I'm unsure how to proceed
with supporting printers.
Does anybody have any words of guidance for me? Am I going to have to write,
from scratch, device drivers for all the supported printers? Has someone
done this already, and the results are in the public domain? I really don't
want to have to "re-invent the wheel".
Also, does anybody have any hints or tips about device independent
graphics? Should I just assume a postscript device, and worry about how that
is handled seperately?
Any help gratefully received, I'm a babe in arms on this issue! Thanks.
