CGP-220 Printer Driver
This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.
Well, despite the heroic attempts of Lattice 3.02 to screw me up, I managed
to come up with a working printer driver for the Radio Shack inkjet
printer, the CGP-220. Yes…after finally realizing that the simple
substitution of '(x+7) >> 3' for the vague, obscure, and hopelessly
convoluted arithmetic obscenity '(x+7) / 8' was THE answer, (along with
re-defining VOID as INT instead of Lattice's void type) I am now able to
enjoy the wonders of color printing! And now I give this gift to my fellow
Amigoids who tried to save a buck by buying a discontinued printer at a
bargain price only to discover that the Canon driver didn't work. You'll
find VERSION 1 in DL 6. I'll try adding some bells and whistles in the
next week or so. In the meantime, anyone want to buy a slightly shredded
Lettuce C compiler? Know where I can get Aztec at a reasonable price?
GOTTA GO!
