Re: PRTF and hex codes

Sorry I took so long, I am out of home, on vacations and have only my
phone.

To learn postscrip there is a lot of material in the web. In short, you
build a varible or a text file with the "program" that gives all
instructions to the printer.

In my case, I needed to make it difficult to print more than a copy without
asking the server again, otherwise I prefer to use HTML.

To send postscript to the printer I added a header with "type:print" and in
the browser I assigned print to LPR.

I did not try it, but I am sure you can create a file and send it to the
printer, also, I remember there is an option to send raw data to the
printer from RPG

Long ago I designed a complicate print using postscrip.

Interesting. Do you have some details you want to share?

PostScript is/has been mainly used by the publishing people, while PCL was
adopted everywhere else. There are some parameters for printer devices/outq
in regard to PostScript, but in the end, I always ended up receiving PCL
data.

:wq! PoC
