Yes, I already know how to get the printers to do what I want.. I have a
stand alone (VB) proggie for printing and I also did the printer programming
for a SCADA node we have that uses barocde printers (once again, VB).
At this point I am thinking that it may take me much longer to get up to
speed with C than one of the other languages.
I certainly appreciate the feedback, though.
You're talking about the serial port programming how-to? I just found one
under the LDP..
