RE: [HUMOR] Someone misconfigured something somewhere, I think
Just out of interest we've spent the last week playing with esc codes on a printer. We have a client running a vet practice using a dos based invoicing system. He is now unable to get dot-matrix printers to work so we put in an HP LJ1200, but the page width is too wide. I know that putting the codes in a .txt file and then piping that to the printer in the autoexec will set the printer for the session, but I'm going round in circles. Does anyone here know if this sounds like a font, line size, cpi, or other issue with a single esc command to sort it? I really had thought I'd seen my last dos box ever!!

RE: [HUMOR] Someone misconfigured something somewhere, I think
Well it depends on what you want, I would suggest you set it to Line printer font, at 16.67CPI but then I am running off memory, I could probably find an HP book around here somewhere to look it up for you if you need me to. However what you really need to do is set the Default Font, because if they print anything else from Windows some programs automatically reset the printer after print. Thus setting it back to the default font and cpi. The higher end HP's are much easier to set as you can do that all from the printer in setting the default font and CPI.

Yeah, but I am WANTING to get rid of this Epson. It's that gray case model. Not an MX-80. :) On Wed, Jun 9, 2010 at 2:12 PM, Terry Dickson te...@treasurer.state.ks.uswrote: Also Okidata still sells Dot Matrix printers that work either USB or Parallel.

We have a client running a vet practice using a dos based invoicing system. He is now unable to get dot-matrix printers to work so we put in an HP LJ1200, but the page width is too wide. I know that putting the codes in a .txt file and then piping that to the printer in the autoexec will set the printer for the session, but I’m going round in circles. Does anyone here know if this sounds like a font, line size, cpi, or other issue with a single esc command to sort it? I really had thought I’d seen my last dos box ever!!

Well, many moons ago, instead of providing FTP, you could map Microsoft's file share servers from the public internet. Let's just say that the environment has changed since then. Regards, Michael B.
