Description:
!LazyPrint sends simple text, Draw or Sprite files to a Hewlett Packard
printer. This allows easy selection of printer parameters such as paper
orientation, margin sizes and hardware fonts for text printing jobs such as
program listings, simple letters and address labels. Draw and Sprite files
can also be printed at any magnification and position on the page in colour
or black-and-white.
It does this using HP languages (PCL-5 including HP-GL/2) within the
printer to form the characters, draw the lines etc. and so is much faster
than the Acorn or Computer Concepts printer-drivers which send the
information as bit-maps. Sprites are sent as bit-maps for which LazyPrint is
no faster than printer drivers.
Unlike printer drivers, LazyPrint is truly multi-tasking, always allowing
the computer to work on other tasks while it is printing.
!LazyPrint is written in Fortran.
