printing command language
I have a fifteen years old printer - Fuzitsu Breeze 100.
This printer not only prints under DOS. When seeing a page in the BIOS and pressing the "print"-key it also prints this BIOS-page. That means, it prints without an operating system. I am eager to know what printing command language such printer use. |

A basic or elemental Input/Output machine provision and a standard all printers effective recognize, but not a language. The language is different features of a printer which are referenced for commands contained in its driver. Whether the printing printing programs can use them is a relation of good the program is and how many commands the printer is limited to. Mostly a recognized conception you've either got color or not for practical implications. |

If still uncertain (e.g. no manual) you can try the utility DOSPrn which has various command sets, from http://www.dosprn.com/ A useful reference might be Scott Foerster's The Printer (Que 1990.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Print screen dumps the text that's on the screen to the printer port, lpt1. The printer gets this text, and prints it. If you don't get a page spat out, you might have to introduce the end of page character, ctrl-L IIRC. Postscript printers, unless they happen to be in HP emulation mode, don't print the screen in this way. But you can chat with them in a terminal and get some very robust output without a GUI. Keep in mind that the printscreen command was offered in the age of daisy wheel and dotmatrix. As a point of interest, some printers still offer Epson dotmatrix emulation which happens to pass ascii input directly to the page. |
