Hello everybody!

I have some requests from Poland! :-))
1) How can I print on for example on DeskJet HP 600/690C (or LasetJet HP) in
variuos fonts on system DOS (Clipper for DOS - compiler). PCL? Any useful
websites available?
2) Is there any useful FAQ on these group about printing in graphics mode
from DOS using Clipper?
3) For any suggestion and helping hand I will appreciate very much! Thanks!

Dariusz,

On: http://www.hp.com/cposupport/printers/support_doc/bpd02925.html

You can find a list of PCL commands which you can use for the HP 600. If you
search the HP site, you can find similar lists for other printers.

However, most HP printers are fairly compatible, so you can use the same
commands for all printers (except for the "Windows only" printers, which
don't recognise any of these commands).

Not quite sure what you mean with "fonts": if you mean typefaces (Courier,
Arial, Times Roman and so on) it might get more complicated, because I have
seen that the typeface commands for a 600 differ from the ones you need to
use for the 4050 I am using now. You will probably want to stay away from
proportional fonts in any case.

Dariusz,

Can you give some more details on what exactly you want to do?

What exactly do you mean with "printing graphic fonts"

Dariusz,

This is all I have. The sources are still there under "CPS Fontes" on:

Thanks!
I have just downloaded this product but... it is ONLY exe file so I am
disappointed with it!

On your page you wrote that it includes source code of Delphi!

Dariusz,

Then it should just be a matter of sending the appropriate escape sequence
to the printer.

To print in letter gothic on a 600, you would do something like:

set print on
? chr(27)+'(s6T'+"Letter gothic"+"The quick brown fox"

Note that you can only address one of the built-in fonts in this way.

See http://www.*-*-*.com/

When I looked a moment ago, the sources were in:
http://www.*-*-*.com/
Under the link "CPS Fontes" I mentioned above.

Yes: everything seems to have disappeared in the past hour or so. I suppose
we will just have to be patient and see if they will reappear sometime
somewhere............
