How to use ? Call the exe and use the dialog ... (german).
This program does not use the standard printer drivers, it just sends characters to LPT1(or any other file or device). Special escape sequences can be entered, HP laserjet 4 is preselected. Note that this only works if the data is written in raw format to the printer !
How does it work ? nothing special, using Easter algorithm made by Gauß
How to build ? call mk.bat(Windows) or mk.cmd (OS/2)
How to install ? no installation needed, just copy the files

Ideas for further development
  • use system printer driver
  • or, make a simple portable printer "driver" (for text only), e.g. just a table with pre- and post codes (like ESC sequences) that depend on printer type and effect wanted
  • port to portable tool kit, like WxWidgets
