ESC/P2 code??? I've never used T87 and so don't know how it prints.
Assuming it prints ASCII as opposed to (raster) graphics (like windoze
does to emulate an inkjet/laser, etc), setting the colour on my STAR
LC24-200C colour printer uses:
<ESC>"r"colour
<ESC> - chr$(27)
"r" - lowercase r - chr$(114)
colour - 0 = Black, 1 = Red, 2 = Blue, 3 = Magenta, 4 = Yellow,
5 = Orange, 6 = Green
eg: OPEN#3,ser1:PRINT#3,chr$(27);"r";chr$(2);:close#3
will set my printer to print in blue (the printer supports "Epsom
printer commands").
Any help?
