- Is there ANY way to convince the printer.device to print text with upper-ascii
- characters on the assumption that it should use IBM graphics characters? Most
- printers have that character set in them ... translating to 8-bit-ascii so the
- printer.device can translate it back will lose all those boxology characters.
- Or am I forced to use raw parallel or serial output and just HOPE that the
- user's printer does something that resembles what's on the screen? I sure
- don't want to start writing a set of printer drivers just for something as
- simple as sending BBS messages to a printer.
