The printer can be made to print in different fonts, bold, italic etc using ESC commands. This is not a safe assumption for any arbitrary, unknown printer. Before proceeding, you need to determine whether or not the specific printer(s) in question can be driven easily through RS232 or Centronix SPP port; You also need to determine whether or not the specific printer(s) in question can accept control commands using simple escape sequences. For the Epson-style "ESC-P" commands, see: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/164465 and: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/9573 A common alternative is HP's Printer Control Language, PCL: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/29028 But a so-called "Winprinter" will be of no use to you at all: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/94260 |
