I am attempting to use the Imagewriter I connected to the printer port as
a debugging tool in connection with a small application I am writing
using Lightspeed C Rev 2.11. I have been successful in getting
output to the printer, but cannot get the paper to advance. Here is the
relevant code fragment:
#include "stdio.h"
.
.
FILE *pfile;
.
.
pfile = fopen(".BOut", "a");
.
.
fprintf(pfile, "Hello, World\n");
fprintf(pfile, "This is the next line\n");
.
.
fclose(pfile);
.
.
The symptoms are that all the output is printed, but each succeeding
line of text overwrites the last one -- that is, the paper never advances.
The standard switch settings are used on the Imagewriter, and all standard
Mac applications print fine. I have tried several workarounds:
* replacing the "\n" with "\012\015"
* using the escape code to force one or more line feeds
* turning on automatic line feed mode
Nothing works. Any suggestions?
