Send the control code (ESC/P2?) code directly to the printer from archive?
As in:
lprint chr(27)+"P"+chr(15)

In the psion four printer "driver" (printer_dat file) itself? (actually
it's just a config file of ESC codes to send to an ASCII/Text (ESC/P2?)
printer to interpret.
Set the preamble code to include set printer to 17 CPI (ESC, P, SI = 27, 80,
15) and post-print to include resetting printer to, say, 10 CPI (ESC, P, DC2
= 27, 80, 18)?
If I remember rightly (haven't done it for a while) I had a few printer_dat
files set up for various configs and copied the relevant one to printer_dat
before running the relevant psion program.
[I have a Star LC24/200c...I seem to be able to get original ribbons; though
when I do I usually buy a lot (10-20) to ensure that (a) I have supply and
(b) makes it possible that supplier can actually get them (as it's not just
1 or 2).
NOTE:
I don't know how QPCPrint handles access to the printer - ie whether it
converts the output into a raster scan to send (like a normal, slow, Windwos
printer sends a graphical image) or just passes the data straight through to
the printer (like a standard QL).
