- Ok, here's my problem:
-
- I have an old Epson-RX80 printer, and no-matter which printer driver I
- use, whenever the printer.device sends the "Init" code which resets
- all of the styles, etc to normal the printer prints a "0" whereever
- the head is on the page.
-
- There's simply no way to stop it... I can take all of the style
- commands out of the printer driver I'm using, that will stop it OK,
- but then I don't have any style commands!
-
- Does anyone know (kindly Commodore programmers?) if there's an easy
- way of disabling the printer.device so it ignores the init command?
- Perhaps a little bit of hex editing?
