Re: [Freedos-user] Code pages in dot-matrix printers
Henrique Peron hpe...@terra.com.br wrote in news:4dc2ebc0.30...@terra.com.br: I just read a PDF file Epson ESC/P Reference Manual. It explains that 24-pin printers can receive definitions on 241 characters into its RAM but those 9-pin LX printers cannot. They can only receive 6 characters. It seems that uploading a codepage into a printer's RAM is out of the question. :-( Perhaps the idea (which is what I did once with a 9-pin Epson LX-800 that I had) is to manipulate the printer head directly. That would leave CPI files and hardcoded printer codepages out of the equation. That would force me to manually provide the data (through a TXT file) which would be sent to a printer through some program which would pose as a printer driver. I would like to elaborate more on this but it seems this is the wrong freedos-list to do that. I have some ideas and perhaps we could work together on a printer driver for FreeDOS. If you're willing to accept the very slow printing speed of your printer's graphics mode then you may want to investigate GhostScript, which already provides a wide variety of fonts, sizes and printer drivers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript#.22Hello_world.22 http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/get510.htm -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.

Re: [Freedos-user] Code pages in dot-matrix printers
Henrique Peron hpe...@terra.com.br wrote in news:4dc42724.7020...@terra.com.br: Hi Mark, it's not about willing to accept. Unfortunately, printing on graphics mode seems to be the only common denominator among all brands and models of printers. Naturally, if someone needs a character table which is already hardcoded to his/her printer, all (s)he will have to do is to setup his/her printer accordingly and print on text mode. However, many printers have a very reduced set of character tables; furthermore, there are a lot of codepages which I created for FreeDOS which naturally aren't hardcoded anywhere. Last but not least - the DOS drivers you pointed us to refer to 32-bit DOS. Henrique Ah, I didn't catch that. You could find an older 16-bit GhostScript, but it doesn't sound like scalable fonts are your current goal. -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.

[Freedos-user] More FreeDOS usage-Higher Price?
A recent thread More FreeDOS usage mentioned that Dell provides a FreeDOS CD with some of its computers. There's a related discussion in grc.techtalk (http://www.grc.com/discussions.htm) regarding Linux on Dell pcs. It gave an example of one pc where Dell charges $53 (U.S.) more for a FreeDOS system than an identical system with Win XP, because they lose money by not preinstalling certain bundled software.

[Freedos-user] More FreeDOS Usage: Pricey
A recent post (end of January) mentioned that Dell now puts a FreeDOS CD in the box of some of its low-end PCs. A related post in grc.techtalk (a discussion group at grc.com) regarding Dell bundling Linux on pcs indicated that, at least sometimes, Dell charges more for a system with FreeDOS than for the identical one with Windows XP. This is to make up for the money they lose by NOT preinstalling certain bundled Windows software.
