Pour through the manual and see if you can find anything about how
the printer uses tabs. Also try and select a monospaced font.
A Web browser would make a lousy print layout tool.
Your workflow description is not clear; what exactly are you trying
to accomplish?
Say, I'm writing an app for a company that prints shipping paperwork
on a 24-pin OKI Microline 590 24-pin printer.? I've started off by
getting my hands on some working Excel spreadsheets that print to
the printer, with the correct character positioning and spacing to
fix exactly in the right spaces on the page printout.
My questions are:
1)? Is there a way I can somehow detect the character positioning
that spits of out Excel, so that I can replicate it in Revolution
and print to the printer?
and
2)? I'm also toying with the idea of making the printout entirely
web-browser based - - - if I did that, I'd still need to work on
getting the exact character-positioning for the printer.? Any
drawbacks?
and
3)? In the event that regular ol' HTML browser text doesn't work,
anyone know of I can somehow dynamically create a PDF document from
a web-server that could be printed that would do the same thing?
