I have been looking around for something similar to the
ANSI X3.64 Terminal Protocol Specification for printers
or printing terminals. I guess that in some "ideal"
world we would have something analogous to the Virtual
Terminal Protocol for printers, but I am willing and
seeking suggestions regarding printer standards for
simple and medium-complexity printers.
Please don't tell me about Centronics interfaces -
that's hardware cabling. What I'm interested in is
carriage control, carriage size, forward and backward
vertical and horizontal tabs, etc...
Any thoughts ?
Thanks,
J. Gordon Beattie, Jr.
