#Printer Driver Info
Is there any good book or files to write a printer driver for the Amiga under
1.3 (or higher).
This place has several Tektronix printers (one in my desk) that are weird and
need a special driver. I wrote the one that drives the program we sell.
For those who are going to suggest the generic printer driver program, please
don't. I wish I could used one of those things but this printer does not
communicate in the typical 8 bit mode it uses a weird 2+6 bit communication
mode so those programs are out. In addition, the printer has no TTY
capability. That is it can not print ASCII text. Why? It has no character
definitions inside. This monster is a giant dot spitter.
And can print 12×18 using the solid ink (hey, it melts it before it spits it
out). And can print in any media (even paper towels, and YES I TRIED THAT
ALREADY). Which is why I want an Amiga driver. The program I work for is for
yellow pages and it is very hard to do anything nice on it. And I don't feel
like creating a Windows or OS/2 driver (cause I think it would be easier to do
in the Amiga).
Please help.
