Hi Robert (and Ian),
I have looked up some Epson ESC P2 codes and can confirm that the ESC
r colour code is valid for ESC P2. The documents I saw list the
colours as follows:
0=black (default), 1=Magenta, 2=Cyan, 3=Violet, 4=Yellow, 5=red,
6=green
The notes say:
Print yellow first when overlapping colours
Stylus 300,800,800+,1000 and 400 do not support this command.
(I don't have a Stylus printer so can't test this out!)
