Printer functions

[pI]

I've got simple question.
What are some functions names in C for programming printers?
Maybe some library ?

There are none in Standard C. Since you mention DOS, you may strike
lucky in comp.msdos.prog ramming or similar groups.

C itself provides only fopen(), fprintf(), fwrite(),
and the rest of the I/O library. The job of discovering
a printer's name for fopen() and of deciding what kind of
data to send to it is up to you. Some kinds of printers
may not be usable at all given only what unextended C offers.

You mean something other than fopen/fwrite/fprintf/fclose? There are none
in standard C.

Perhaps. Have you looked?

ITYM comp.os.msdos.p rogrammer.

One way of "programmin g printers" for any platform is to just
send text directly to the port that the printer is on.

Otherwise you will need to interface to a printer driver; in which
case you will have to read the printer driver documentation, or
if your OS provides a common printer interface, then ask in that
OS's newsgroup.

Right. I stand corrected. Thanks.
