In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Wolfgang Lenerz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writesI have mentioned this so many times. ProForma as it stands will only print to printers for which it has drivers and there are no ESC/P raster drivers. The cheap printers have no emulations. Even the expensive printers often have no emulations and some that have ESC/P2 - like my C80 - print from the QL and from Q40 but not from QPC2 which will happily print to the EPL 6200 using ESC/P2. It is a veritable minefield.On 25 Nov 2004 at 15:52, Rich Mellor wrote:
I am glad to see that this has at least inspired some interest and
hopefully we will see the beginnings of some work towards an actual
product - although we still have no confirmation that Proforms can output
to a Windows only printer - if not, we may be in trouble. Surely someone
has access to one of the cheap Epsons on a PC and can install QPC2 plus
Linedesign and see if they can print something direct to that printer
successfully. If there are no volunteers, guess I could always go and buy
one for �40 or so just to try it.
Don't even bother. There is no Proforma driver for GDI printers, so no output
to them.
Remember, each different GDI printer needs its own driver...
I wonder why it will not print from QPC2..... ??
Guess we need to consider installing a driver for one of the cheap EPSONs and see what the difference is in the output - they must still use a very similar scheme (possibly just no control codes at the start to identify the start of graphics)..
Any suggestions on a printer which is like this and I will install the driver.
