Hi, I'm currently helping a certain non-profit organization with developing a really sturdy linux box. These boxes would be used in a remote part of a certain third world country (India would be tech mecca by comparison).
We plan to have a dot matrix printer attached to the linux box. The print spooling software will probably be lpr(ng) or cups. I have no experience with dot matrix printers. Can someone tell me how printing to dot matrix printers happens? Are the fonts in the firmware of the printer? Or are they sent to the printer via PCL/PS/control language? Do any of you have experience printing international characters on dot matrix printers attached to linux boxen? Thaths -- Lisa: I'm studying for the math fair. If I win, I'll bring home a brand new protractor.
