- /* This is a bare bones driver I developed for my apple Dot Matrix Printer.
- * This code originally was from the epson driver, but I removed a lot
- * of stuff that was not needed.
- *
- * The Dot Matrix Printer was a predecessor to the apple Imagewriter. Its
- * main difference being that it was parallel.
- *
- * This code should work fine on Imagewriters, as they have a superset
- * of commands compared to the DMP printer.
- *
- * This driver does not produce the smalles output files possible. To
- * do that, it should look through the output strings and find repeat
- * occurances of characters, and use the escape sequence that allows
- * printing repeat sequences. However, as I see it, this the limiting
- * factor in printing is not transmission speed to the printer itself,
- * but rather, how fast the print head can move. This is assuming the
- * printer is set up with a reasonable speed (9600 bps)
- *
- * WHAT THE CODE DOES AND DOES NOT DO:
- *
- * To print out images, it sets the printer for unidirection printing
- * and 15 cpi (120 dpi). IT sets line feed to 1/9 of an inch (72 dpi).
- * When finished, it sets things back to bidirection print, 1/8" line
- * feeds, and 12 cpi. There does not appear to be a way to reset
- * things to initial values.
- *
- * This code does not set for 8 bit characters (which is required). It
- * also assumes that carriage return/newline is needed, and not just
- * carriage return. These are all switch settings on the DMP, and
- * I have configured them for 8 bit data and cr only.
- *
- * You can search for the strings Init and Reset to find the strings
- * that set up the printer and clear things when finished, and change
- * them to meet your needs.
- *
- * Also, you need to make sure that the printer daemon (assuming unix)
- * doesn't change the data as it is being printed. I have set my
- * printcap file (sunos 4.1.1) with the string:
- * ms=pass8,-opost
- * and it works fine.
- *
- * Feel free to improve this code if you want. However, please make
- * sure that the old DMP will still be supported by any changes. This
- * may mean making an imagewriter device, and just copying this file
- * to something like gdevimage.c.
- *
- * The limiting factor of the DMP is the vertical resolution. However, I
- * see no way to do anything about this. Horizontal resolution could
- * be increased by using 17 cpi (136 dpi). I believe the Imagewriter
- * supports 24 cpi (192 dpi). However, the higher dpi, the slower
- * the printing.
