font size/type in printer output? 1

[hughLg]

I'm using the following to send output to printer:

FILE *prn = fopen("LPT1", "w");
fprintf(prn, "Line 1...");...

How to change the font tyre and size for the output? Thanks.

Well you need to read the manual for your printer for starters, to find out how to change such things for your printer.

You could find out if your printer supports such things as postscript (a standard page description language) which a lot of printers support. Then at least you're not tied to one specific printer.
This should get you started.

It's one of the nice things about windows GUI programming is that the printer interface is common to all printers and all applications, so all you need to do is decide what to print and the rest happens for you.

It would normally be the default printer font set from the front panel of the printer.
