if your printer can't print ASCII and you want to write a driver able to print text in gfx mode: forget it. This is a real nightmare task because the printer device does has it's limitations here. The buffer for text is only 230 chars… I doubt you can print gfx with that…. there are cases where you can get arround this limitation, but so far, the only driver on the Amiga able to get this done without errors is the Canon BJ5-230 and CaPSL driver. The PostScript driver of WB 2.1/3.0 does similar things but has some bugs here… So, I can tell you: forget it… unless you want to get 10 years older 😉 Regarding the source: ask in comp.sys.amiga.applications on UseNet. The person writing the Tektronix driver is on there. Sorry, I checked my database, but didn't found any reference (didn't kept it…).
