- OS: OS/2
- Product: SAS 6.03/6.04
- Printer: Panasonic 1123KX with Epson LQ850 and IBM PROPRINTER X24 Graphics mode
- Problem: GOPTIONS for printer.
-
- I am having a problem producing output with PC/DOS/SAS. I think it is 6.03
- basically with an updated SAS/GRAPH(new and updated drivers) which they call
- 6.04(please correct me if I'm wrong). My problem is I'm used to the GOPTIONS
- of 6.07 which does not apply. What I want to know has anyone been able to
- print using this printer. I have used it in other graphics applications so I
- know it's not the printer that is the problem. I can externally put the
- printer in three graphics modes LQ850, IBM G1, and IBM G2. I tried the SAS
- drivers for Proprinter and Epson LQ800 with no success. If anyone knows how
- to modify these drivers to work with my printer please let me know. The
- GOPTIONS that I used follow.
-
- FILENAME GRAFOUT "C:\DOS\STAT\SAS\SASUSER\GRAFX.GSF";
- GOPTIONS RESET=ALL DEVICE=PROPRINT GSFNAME=GRAFOUT GSFMODE=REPLACE;
-
- sas statements with a graphics routine
-
- X "PRINT C:\DOS\STAT\SAS\SASUSER\GRAFX.GSF";
- RUN;
-
- I have tried the above also with DEVICE=LQ800 and DEVICE=LQ1000 and both with
- and without NOCHARACTERS since no hardware fonts are listed for any of these
- devices. Also, under OS/2 you can stop the queue and look at the output on
- the screen instead of wasting paper(which I did a lot of). However, I'm not
- sure if what I'm looking at is WYSIWYG. For instance, I printed a WordPerfect
- document to the queue and it didn't look much better. Is this because I setup
- the printer incorrectly. In OS/2, the printer is set as a Panasonic 1123KX, but
- the driver is the Epson LQ-850 just like in Windows. I'm out of breath. Please
- help. Thanks for your help in advance.
