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!
