Copy file containing control codes to printer?

Photon · 09 December 2006, 21:34

Hmm, copy ptestami.txt PAR: works, but all codes like linefeed/CR, formfeed etc are stripped - it comes out as one long line. SAME result if copying to PRT:

I'm using a LaserJet 4ML connected to my A500/WB2.0. All other characters ("above ascii 31") come out correctly.

Is there a "printfile" utility? I didn't find any CLI switch for the copy command.

Actually, this result is the same as using COPY ptest.txt PAR: on my PC - no control codes. But if you COPY /b ptest.txt PAR: it works fine.

Help pls!!

Never mind, I made my own in asm and then I enhanced it to print "syntax-formatted" asm sources for those sessions where you scribble optimizations on a printout over a cup of coffee in the kitchen. Yay!
