Hi George, ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Gwilt" Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 4:49 PM Subject: Re: [ql-users] Problems with printing under XChange Archive
I had this problem perhaps eight years ago or so. I tried about seven different PRINTER_DATs before finding one that did the trick. One use of Archive is to print labels. I think in this case I set the number of lines per page to 9 and issued FF if there were less in a label. I had previously tried 255 lines per page but that certainly does not work. I also use an assembler routine in Archive programs to set the required special printer driver and reset the original driver when the program is finished. ----- End Original Message ----- Hmm, I do not really understand, how printer_dats could be different in case of setting the number of lines. I also do it the same way. If the number of lines are below, say 66, I issue an FF but Archive (remark, it is the recent XChange version!) also issue an FF.... exactly at the place, where I have set in in the printer_dat, nevertheless, what number is there. So, the only thing I can assume is, that this version (or XChange Archive et al) has a bug in this case. What kind of Archive version do you use? Unfortunately, there is no stand-alone version of Archive, which is SMSQ/E compatible in conjunction with it's writing to $20000.
