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!!

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!

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. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software

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.
