- GPIB is just an interface standard. It is not a printer command language.
- What you need is a GPIB(aka HPIB aka IEEE-488) driver that will allow you
- to send the text file out via the GPIB interface.
-
- The drivers should come with the GPIB card. If the card was
- inherited, the best solution is to request it from the manufacturer of
- the card (HP, maybe?).
