- Hi all,
- Who knows about using AMOSPro and printers?
- I use our A1200 '030 here at work with an HP Laserjet 5L (using a LaserJet
- driver) and it doesn't seem possible to use embedded commands to alter, for
- example, output from elite to pica, or double strike, etc.. Printer Send
- (after printer open) works a little better than Lprint, but not much (ie it
- only variably pays attention to the printer preferences). There also seem to
- be some really strange bugs; eg :
-
- printer open
- a$="Test" : printer send A$
-
- works, but:
- printer open : printer send "Test"
-
- doesn't, it prints nothing to the screen. Further,
-
- printer open : printer send test$ : printer send test$ : printer send test$
- :...
-
- only prints the first string!
-
- P.S. I just downloaded and tried the Jd extension; alas to no avail, similar
- problems exist. Is this just my printer/driver combination?
- Thanks in advance
- Rod
