- Whether you can even _do_ this depends on the capabilities of your printer.
-
- How you do it, assuming it can be done, will depend in part on the capabilities
- of the operating system as well.
-
- In MS-DOS, if my printer was capable, I would probably send some escape
- sequence, documented in the printer manual, to the printer.
-
- In Windows, it appears that the Windows printer driver may get in the act
- somehow.
-
- Try asking in a newsgroup dedicated to your operating system or computer (or
- printer).
