Printer control codes for my HP Laserjet 4L

[Capri]

How do I send printer control codes for my HP Laserjet to print in different fonts in my report progams in Clipper 5.0?? I plan to run the executable in DOS box of WIN 98..

Let's say your printer documentation says the control code for 17 cpi = &quot;&17c&quot; nad reset is &quot;&esc&quot; (look in the printer programmers documentation) and that your printer is attached to lpt1 or lpt1 is captured to a network queue.<br>
<br>
set printer to '.lpt1' // cause that's where it needs to go<br>
set device to printer // redirection<br>
set printer on // has to be on<br>
<br>
? &quot;&17c&quot; // your printer just switched to 17cpi<br>
<br>
? (the rest of your 17cpi printing - or use @ say ... )<br>
<br>
? &quot;&esc&quot; // your printer is set back to it's defaults<br>
<br>
set printer to // shoves it out to the printer<br>
set device to screen // if you want <br>
<br>
Try it out.<br>
<br>

Don't know if you still require the LaserJet printer codes, but I have them in a dBase III database if you want them. Send me a email:<br>

My original reply said .lpt1 - should be LPT1. instead (if your LPT1 is where you want to go and it's captured on Novell) if not ( a local printer ) just LPT1 (no period) Hope I didn't confuse you.
