I haven't seen one but its not difficult to write one for yourself. I =
had one for H.P. RTL which we used for testing our large format printer =
drivers a few years ago. I think I still have an Epson manual which =
summarises their different small printer command codes I could copy, if =
you fancy writing something. I don't know if there is a collection of =
printer and plotter manuals online anywhere. BitSavers seems very light =
When I was looking for an Epson printer to fit the HPIB or HPIL interface
cards into, I poked around on the Epson website. They have a lot of
fairly old printer user manauls available to download, many of which
contain the Esc-P command set.
One tip : You;ll find a lot more classic manuals if you tell the site
you're in the States than if you say you're in the UK. I have no idea why
this is...
I was amazed that Epson still seem to sell 9 pin and 24 pin dot matrix
printers. Presumably some people still require multi-part carbon forms.
And the printer ribbon vartridge seems to be unchanged from the days of
the MX80, you can still get ribbons for that machine.
