Hi there, i have set a generic/text only printer to print my document with Dot matrix printer using browser. The font printer out is Draft 10 CPI. Now the question is how can i set the font to Draft 12CPI? Because 10CPI font will only have 80 characters per line, i can't print out more informations with 10 cpi font, i need 12cpi so that it can print out more characters per line.

Thank you for helping

Regards,
Henry
 

See thread thread216-796577

Why start the same thread again when exactly the same thing exists ion the same forum? It just serves to frustrate and confuse.

Hi Dan, it is different from the previous thread, my previous thread is how can a web browser print the draft mode font on Dot matrix printer. And after i ask for few person, i found a solution that is create a new generic/text only printer which available on every version of windows. Then on web browser click print and select the printer that created just now(generic printer). The generic printer can force the document to print as draft mode(Draft 10cpi). So now what i want to ask is how about if i want to change the font to 12cpi. The generic printer by default will print as draft 10 cpi.


Sorry for make you confuse.

Regard,
Henry
 
I doubt seriously that you'll be able to send the necessary control codes to the printer from an HTML document. I think you're back to using the printer's control panel.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
