1. eprint.ex bug

There's a bug in the fil eprint.ex, it doesn't reset the printer after it
 prints. That means that if
you print some code using eprint you must turn off and turn on again your
 printer before printing again. Inmy
case (HP 660c) printing whitout manuallly reseting the printer , makes the
 output in condensed fonts and in
red!!!
I don't have the escape codes for changing these values to the printer,
        if
 anyone know them I think it
will be easy to fix the bug.

        Bye!!

2. Re: eprint.ex bug

Dan,

granted that i havent done much direct printer control in
quite a while, but i believe that most printers (epson compat.)
accept either SI (hex 15) or DC2 (hex 18) as printer reset! would
need printer programmers guide to be sure.

besides, most apps assume the printer initialization as
there own responsibility, except dos utilities of course --
they assume NO responsibility.  but at least with my own
apps, i always take responsibility to insure that the printer
is setup for my own requirements!

I'm one step ahead of you Daniel.
This bug was fixed already in the latest release (1.4b).
You just have to change:

      close_printer()

to:

      reset()
      close(printer)

near the end of eprint.ex.

Sure Lucien, but I'm talking that after using eprint.ex I use DOS
        EDIT.COM to p
rint something it gets
all srewed up... anyway, Robert Craig just give me the answer to the bug.
        Thanks Lucien,

P.D. I found somewhere on the net a file called printers.dbf that has hundreds o
f escape codes for almost any
printer, if anyone needs it, mail me and I'll send it.
