Message-ID: <440@uw-beaver> Date: Thu, 17-Jan-85 15:10:35 EST Article-I.D.: uw-beave.440 Posted: Thu Jan 17 15:10:35 1985 Date-Received: Fri, 18-Jan-85 03:17:35 EST Sender: daemon@uw-beaver Organization: U of Washington Computer Science Lines: 13 From: drl@Mitre-Bedford I find that it would be very easy to do many usefull things by simply modifying the very standard printer device driver which resides in a generic macintosh system disk. For example, adding a simple escape sequence to write at the printer port would allow the driver to worry about setting up my laser printer to receive and print bitmaps. I have no assembler source for such a driver and am dreading disassembling the executable which I have, or otherwise reinventing the wheel. If anyone has had to write anything which could be modified to do invisibly do some printer init`s from the device driver, please post source on the net. go ahead, make my day!!! D. Lenrow
