- C doesn't include any magic to do this.
-
- What you will probably have to do, is to set the printer into graphics mode,
- and create a graphic image of the page in memory. You will have to create your
- own character set, and figure out what dots to send in which order.
-
- You will have to consult the printer manual to find some of the commands needed
- to do this.
