Hi Ron,
I am very interested in this because my HP1200C printer is supposed to
work with PCL language. This would make image printing possible ?? and
True Type characters ??
Second I asked the list if it would be possible to insert a small
program in Arachne that becomes active before printing starts.
Purpose is to be able to give initialising commands to the printer first
to change the code page from cp 437 to ISO-8895-1 and change the printer
control commands for italics and bold printing.
So how did you change MIME.CFG ?
